curious about the breakdown between introverts and extroverts who swim, and what they swim. are distance folks more inclined to be introverted, and sprinters, the opposite?

Always planned to read it, always in the back of my mind, just haven't had time to do so. Sound familiar? Dorothy, Swimming is great for your child as this will help channel energy and focus. I'm just getting back to swimming so maybe I will be able to focus and read the above mentioned book. I believe ADHD is over medicated, it drains the creative spark out of the individual. you should read it...I read it last fall. I also found a very funny, very good book aimed at teen girls that my daughter and I read together. Funny in swimming the coach was getting frustrated with her. She wanted her to lead the lane, but my daughter refused. It was because she could never remember what she was suppose to do. Her LD is visual, so she also was not good at reading a board, and is much better with verbal instruction. After I let the coach in on this, she put her 2nd in the lane and all was well.
