Aerobic Development

Most sports require a high level of aerobic development and this includes swimming. After the age of 14 years for girls and 16 years for boys, sports scientists inform us that aerobic development can only be improved by about 10%. Consequently, a good aerobic base needs to be established between 10 and 14 years for girls and 11 and 16 years for boys. Leisel Jones broke an Australian OPEN record at 14 years of age while Ian Thorpe did similar things at 15 years of age – both had an outstanding aerobic base as young swimmers.
