Quah Ting Wen is a swimmer but she's pretty and slim leh! I also noticed some of the swimmers from China are rather nice-looking too. Maybe, they have a good height to start with.

My dd is slim too. And tall, about 1.5m, so got advantage . I think because of her streamlined body, her best strokes are back and free.

That's what I want to say, if you look carefully at the girls, the good swimmers have broader shoulders than normal. If they are tall as well, it is not really an issue. For girls, I like to choose Back stroke. They become very long. Nice!

Also, many coaches believe that it is the broad shoulders who are good swimmers, not swimmers who became broad shoulders. Keke.

BTW, the ones I know have broader shoulders, but not hulk-like shoulders. Got different hor...

She seems excited participating in her school meet - she managed to get a medal for 1 event & another round tomorrow and she's hoping for a 2nd medal - this has given her more confidence and motivation so we hope that lasts !

Great start!

Hi, Is there any way to make my ds whoes is now 13 to develop to have broad shoulder, if not through competitive swimming now…?

Push ups and lots of butterfly stroke. Works marvellously.

Anyone has any feedback on Elite Swim Club ? This is the one my current coach is recommending for my dd.

Hi workingmom, i'm also considering letting dd try competitive training. Can share how the evaluation for your dd went and do you know the criteria for selection? Has she started training and does she enjoy it? Appreciate any sharing. Thanks.

Also, does anyone have a club to recommend in the East? TIA
