[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the flip side, what happens to the kids who are fast but tiny?[/quote] Really depends on their growth trajectory. If they hit puberty and become reasonably tall and newly able to gain lots of muscle, they usually overtake the previously fastest but big boned kids. Since they have always had to work harder and perfect technique, they are ahead of the game. However, if they are genetically going to be tiny adults, it is generally much harder for them to keep up as others gain the height and strength. I will say though that hugeness is really not necessary for swimming. So many of the boys at our club heading to top D1 programs are under 6 feet (like 5’10-5’11, not 5’7). I agree it is hardest for the girls who become very curvy. [/quote]
