[quote=Anonymous]Some people do have an innately good feel for the water, a frame that helps them move powerfully through water, and/or big hands and feet. All of this can run in families. My sister and I didn’t do anything other than summer swim lessons and playing in the pool before starting summer swim team at ages 8 and 9. We were both natural breaststrokers who were quickly the fastest in our age group on the team even when we were at the bottom of the age group. One family we grew up with had 7 kids and they were all amazing swimmers. The ones who trained the most were nationally ranked as age groupers and ended up at top 10 D1 programs. But even the less committed ones were at the top of our summer league all stars and high school state meet even if they didn’t swim year round. They were better at sprints whereas their siblings who trained were great at 200 fly/ 500 free/ 400 IM etc.[/quote]
