[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coach here. For the 10 and unders what you really want to see is the kid who is very talented, maybe getting AAA times, but is not just dominating due to size. There are a lot of kids who are huge 10 year olds, very muscular etc and they can destroy the competition due to pure strength. But it’s the normal looking but super fast kid who will most likely ultimately succeed, especially if they are quite thin. These kids eventually grow and gain muscle, and that combined with their athleticism and that kind of mysterious natural feel for the water makes them unstoppable.  So yes, I see that the top swimmers at 10 usually succeed IF they fit this profile. That is, if you can keep them in the sport![/quote]

Eh - I’ve seen lots of tiny kids dominate in 10&under. Look at most of the 10&under record breakers from the last several years. They are little things. It’s pretty easy to dominate in 10&under by having good technique and just swimming more than anyone else. If those kids don’t grow and stay small, they fall behind as other kids master technique and swim more. I can think of many who fit this bill. [/quote]

Lol. Well since you’ve “seen” tiny kids dominate 10&under, it must be so easy to do so?! You sounds bitter. And like you have no idea what you are talking about.  :lol: [/quote]

Honest question- what sounds bitter about my post? I’m honestly not at all bitter about anything I wrote. I was just writing about things I’ve noticed over the years.  [/quote]
