  • I would also have to say that the 500 time was better. but saying same age if refering to kids doesn't help much because you have to look at there physical development. if they are both 16, maybe the girl won't get any bigger, but the boy most certainly will. not saying both can't get faster.....just a thought. on the team I swim with I have not noticed any of the girls getting taller over the last two summer, but the 14-16 yrs that were shorter than me are now looking down at me. we even have a 12-13 yr old that the coaches are waiting for a grouth spurt. she has been top 10 for '96ers the last 2 yrs, but there is some concern that the others are starting to look down at her. she might lose out in the future.
