[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Mako Olympic Trial swimmer switch confused me: I get needing the cohort to train, but it does say something that she got there with them and that training cohort. Makos have some other rockstar younger kids, so they must be doing something right, it’s a shame to lose them after all that when they hit high school age.[/quote]
I do not know that swimmer’s situation but I would imagine being a Trials qualifier at 14 she was swimming up in training, meaning her cohort was older, and perhaps she felt she had already maxed out what she could get with Makos by training up and wanted to train with kids her age that could push her.

This.  If you are a talented swimmer (Olympic Trial at 14) and swimming with the 17 and 18 year olds, you have different training goals and programs.  Even though she is fast, she is swimming mileage not appropriate at her age and the training would be different.  Put that 14 year old with a bunch of fast 14 year olds she could train more appropriately and in theory make better improvements. And even socially it would be better.[/quote]
