There has been a swimming meet at CRWC this weekend. Assen competed in two events only. There were like six other swimming teams competing in the meet. It looked very well organized, because of the ample space at the CRWC. Assen's first event was the 100 m breast stroke. I personally think this is the hardest stroke for swimming. Kids his age were doing the 100 m in around 2:00. He was the last one finishing and he did it in about 2:45 min.
The second and last event he did was free style 50 m. I think his time was about 1:24 min. This time he beat one other kid. The best kid finished in about 1:00. It looks like kids start to show some swimming skills in Jr-High, but it is not until High School when they really shine. I believe consistency and perseverance are key to achieve success. Parents are the ones that can help their children to develop those talents.
