Wouldn't this be the case for basically every kid on the team?[/quote]

No. She has the fastest 10U times by a lot. [/quote]

I looked up on swimmer rank and see that only about eighteen 9 year olds are ranked in the top 200 in the Us for the 200 IM. I am interested in her time. I enjoying watching how these swimmers do. It’s amazing to me!  The top 9 year old in the 200 Im in the country has a 	2:29.62 in the 9-10 yr old 200 im. How far is your daughter from the record? [/quote]

Looks like the top swimmer (9 year old, girl) in PVS for the current year (so far) has a 9:43.12. Just FYI[/quote]

Do you mean 2:43:12? That would make more sense. My 9 year old son is not in PVS and has a slightly faster time. That is only an AA time, I can’t imagine it’s anywhere close to any record. Although I will say that for the most part the kids in my son’s LSC are posting much faster times than PVS. OP, if that’s your daughter’s time she very good but definitely not a superstar. Just tell her to keep working hard and the times will come! [/quote]

Your son is fast. The fastest pvs 9 yr old boy for the 200 Im does only have a AA time, but that places him 167th in the whole country, 9-10 yrs old. So yours is ranked high!! But to show you how we all know this works- the number one kid in the 9-10 yr old boys in the 200 IM had an AAAA time and then aged up and now has an AA time. [/quote]

He is fast, definitely, but still nowhere near the best. He has the fastest time of the 9 year old boys on his very large team, but a few 10 year olds are significantly faster. And yes, to your point - the times become so much faster as they age up, and 11-12 is so difficult with some kids hitting puberty and others far from it. I don’t discount the fact that an AA time in the 200 IM at 9 is very fast, but at least for my son’s team, you would have to be AAAA+ to set a record at any age. [/quote]
