[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Did great. [/quote] Hmm, I kinda disagree. The one time given, the 8 yo's backstroke---with decent instruction, a reasonably athletic child should have improved down to around 35 seconds for 25 meters. The little kids with these high times are usually going criss cross instead of straight and that's a pretty simple fix if anyone is paying attention. [/quote] This is a summer kid, so the goal is to drop and beat their own time. They did great.[/quote] +1 They should be proud! At our pool they emphasize that it's about beating yourself, not in one meet or another but that the overall trend should be going down. The smiles on these kids faces when they do that is really priceless. One year, a 14-year-old swimmer was jumping up and down telling me how much time she dropped. This was a B meet and she's a summer swimmer and she was having fun. [/quote]
