swim moms: quick question
If you can switch her, have her swim the 200 free and 200 back or 200IM. It is weird that they aren’t offering 100s at the 13&Up session because they are standard events. I also think it’s fine if she swims with the younger kids...after all it is 11 and over. Plus she can gain more confidence. It can be hard for new swimmers to swim with kids their age who have been swimming for 6 years. But I wouldn’t force her to swim with the younger kids if she doesn’t want to.
My DD is 14 and has swam competitively since she was 8. She still likes swimming 100s. DS1 started at 6.5 (in long course season ) and swam 200 free at age 7, and 500 free at age 8. I think he’ll kill me if I sign him up for a 400IM or 1000 free (which he can swim now that he’s 11).
