Well, I agree many of these kids are tall. But being a breaststoker I knew of exceptional novice swimmers that were faster than me. I think the fastest I did at 12 years old was a 40. something, it faster than I did at a 46 years old woman. I did a 46 in 50 meter which is similar to a 41. Both of them were shorter than me. They both did 36 and 35 times in 50 yard *** back in 1969 and early 1970. That's similar to a 11-12 year old girl now doing 34 or even 33. One of them went to an AAU team and made the olympic trails in 1972 at 15 years old. Also, I read on the Lane 9 board, that a vietnamize girl from a Calfiornia team set the national record in the 50 yard back. Most people that are familar with the Vietnamize realized that they are not tall on the average.
