[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this person who keeps saying you can't just start practicing more at an older age and expect to be in a top level group is literally ignoring D1 swimmers telling them otherwise. i'm guessing this poster has a fast age grouper who they have been pushing since they were little. your kid will surely be the egg that doesn't crack when thrown at the wall[/quote] :roll: My kid didn’t even start swimming until age 9. The youth sports landscape is completely different (and you can say worse and I would agree) from when we were kids. So, no I don’t think the example of someone’s path as an age grouper from 25+ years ago is necessarily applicable to the modern day environment. I can speak to what I see at our club and at the higher level meets. It is literally in writing on many of the big clubs’ websites as to the practice requirements for upper level training groups for age groupers. [/quote]
