[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s nearly impossible to step up from BB straight to AA-AAA but she could be well an A now, after summer. You need to have her first meet results to discuss with current team. But if she already had all BB as a 9 yo (which is strong) then you don’t need to wait for new meet to start looking for back-up options. You can already find a transfer option and have it in your sleeve when you go to that meeting [/quote]

There are around only 3 seconds in her strong races between her times last December during short course season and AA times. It isn’t hard at this age to knock off 3 seconds. I’ve timed her during their fun relays during practice and she is there.[/quote]m

There are no such events in USA swimming 10&under girls times where a difference between BB and AA would be 3 sec. it’s about 5 sec for all 50s ( 7 sec for breast); about 15-20 sec for 100s
You are either from another country or you are looking at single age standards for 9yo, which are not quite the same as 9-10 age group standards [/quote]

I am looking at 2017-2020 Standards 10 & Under girls for SCM. For example 50 free, BB min is 38.89. DD’s time is 36.17. A min is 34.69. AA min is 33.29. From DD’s time to AA min is around 3 seconds.

OK, but what are her 100 and 200 free times?  Maybe she's not being moved up because she has no endurance.  There are lots of kids who can swim a fast 50 in summer swim, but anything beyond a 50 and they hit a major wall.[/quote]

I understand. Was just giving one example. 100 free time was 1:23.11 and she didn’t do 200’s as an 8-9 yr old.[/quote]

Is that SC meters, LC meters, or SC yards? [/quote]

SCM

She doesn’t have times in the longer races, over 100m, they will come this year. Her endurance is strong though. I watched this morning during their warmup they did a 100 kick, 50 swim, backwards IM. She zipped through it and finished the set 5 minutes before the next fastest swimmer. 10 minutes before the last swimmer finished. Lapped the kids in her lane many times over. Coach noticed, told her good job... then let her sit there for 10 minutes while the rest of the group finished. [/quote]
