Definitely not the case.  We’ve got a number of year round swimmers on our summer team and they are not particularly good (some don’t even make A meets).  I’m sure they are better than they would be without swimming year round, but they still are not good.

It’s mostly about general athleticism, height and body type, particularly at younger ages.  As you get older, you have to also train hard.[/quote]

We've got a boy at our pool who used to swim year round, but dropped it in favor of lacrosse in middle school. He's still challenging pool records five years later because he's just a freak athlete. [/quote]

We’ve got 10 year old girl who only swims during the summer.  She beats every other 9-10 girl on our team (including 2 club swimmers) in every stroke and usually places first at A meets.[/quote]
Well I hope so she’s the oldest [/quote]
