[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop scaring off OP. You're making summer swim team parents look bad![/quote] New parents should also have realistic expectations. In NVSL D7 a girl dropped about 6 1/2 seconds in 25 breaststroke at divisionals. That's a far cry from the 40 seconds being thrown around. And even after that impressive time drop, she wasn't close to making All Stars. My advice is to teach your kiddos the basics, either through lessons or minis, and let them have fun. Don't worry about A meets, divisionals, or All Stars. If they really enjoy it and have a love for swimming they will improve quickly (through not as quickly as some are suggesting) and will ask you for more time in the water. If they just want to hang out with their friends that's fine too.[/quote]
