Hi,
My eldest daughter (13yo, lv7) was a late starter, had a stress fracture on her back about 4 years ago and still suffers often from back pain due to the numerous back and front walkovers they do during warm up and on beam
On top of that, beam fears give her anxiety to the point she would like to retire from gymnastics after next season. I have read many successful stories of retired gymnasts becoming divers, pole vaulters, runners and dancers but I cannot find anything about swimming after gymnastics. My daughter was offered to join the swim team at age 9 but decided on gymnastics instead. She masters all strokes and turns and can dive but I do not know how hard it would be for her to catch up with swimmers her age. Any successful stories you know of? Thank you in advanced.
