[quote=Anonymous]My DH is a former elite swimmer and people are forgetting a couple of aspects (aside from genetics and talent): When kids are young, motivation definitely counts. Some natural competitiveness and likely younger siblings wanting to do what their older siblings are doing. I don't know about other people, but if my kids aren't interested and motivated, it doesn't matter whether they have the right genetics. Once you reach high school and college, you are surrounded by kids with good genetics and talent. But the truly great swimmers also have a strong work ethic--a commitment to hours and hours of practice and training (often to the exclusion of many other things!) [/quote]
