                How good is good?


                Can anyone post some good timings for local 6 yo girls for front crawl and breaststroke?

                Or provide links to local swim times for young kids?

                People who have seen my girl swim say she is good.

                I only have some US and Canadian timings for comparisons.
                (Over there, their 6 yo girls are doing 22-24s for 30m frontcrawl, while my girl is doing 29s)

                My girl started at a public pool since 3.5 yo and her coach advised me to send her for competitive swimming at clubs… so I enrolled her in APS.
                However, APS assesses her and places her in Learn To Swim program as she needs to improve her backcrawl and learn butterly.

                I do some stamina training for her on a week day (covering only 800m-1km) and she has 2 stroke training sessions on weekends.

                Any suggestion on how I can help her while she progresses with her strokes?

                      My girl has just been invited to join APS Junior competitive squad.

                      Will be increasing her training to min 3 x 2h a week.
                      When she settles into her routine in P1 next year, and if she is able to, will increase it to 4 or 5 x 2h.

                      Commitmment is really important, expecially from parents. I am afraid I am the one who can’t take it. hahahaha
