Advice for a teen club swimmer

LCM meet coming up in a little more than a month. Granddaughter is listening to her teammates complain about swimming LCM. She is now making negative statements about how poorly she is going to swim because the pool is LCM and outside. I'm afraid she is setting up a self-fulfilling prophecy. What would you say to her? Thank you!

  • 95% of kids around the country are whining about LCM workouts now coming off SC season. The other 5% are whining about LCM season and other things that every teen swimmer that ever lived whines about. 100% of parents and grandparents should stay out of it. I heard one swimmer the other day complain that LCM swimming messes up her manicure more than SCY swimming.
