[quote=Anonymous]This is all anecdotal. There are cases of kids staying fast, there are kids faced with slowing down. There are fast tall kids, slow tall kids, fast short kids, slow short kids. All of it except a magic formula that can predict racing times. Not a knock on OP, who seems to be trying to protect their kid, but the whole conversation seems unhelpful, and people strangely delight in other kid's not growing, or a growth spurt in their own kid. It also feels kind of gross to me to be commenting on kids' bodies so much. But it definitely happens a lot in swim. Go look at college swim pages, you will find kids of all heights. Not all college swimmers are huge, though height is a definite advantage. And remember, few scholarships exist in swimming. So hopefully your kid is swimming because they really enjoy it. No one should be spending that much time in the water otherwise. (and college is not the be all, end all: high school swim is great too.)[/quote]
