[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. OP here. The funny part about it is that he has a good backstroke. If he could do that all the way down the lane for tryouts, he'd have no problem. But I think he has a harder time with freestyle because he has to focus on arms, legs, and breathing all at once.[/quote] Why can’t he do backstroke for tryouts? He could swim backstroke in any freestyle event. [/quote] He could...but have you ever seen that at a meet...ever?[/quote] Won’t the pool have time trials before the season where kids choose their own strokes? That’s how ours does it. Those times form the initial ladder, and times from both b and a meets move you up. The top swimmers are chosen solely based on the ladder for a meets. It’s part of why dd loves swim- there are no favorites, fastest time competes [/quote] Yes but on very small teams they may only have a few kids per age group so they make it to a team. [/quote]
