Thanks for the replies. I’ve been conflicted about whether she should point it out. Part of me worries that the coaches will be concerned about her dedication level to the sport if she says something about not training at the level other swimmers have trained at until last year (she was on a competitive team before then, but didn’t train as intensely, did no dry land training, etc). She’s picked up training even more over last summer and this fall, and says she feels great in the water. I can’t wait to see her times this year. Unfortunately, the ED coaches will not see them.

The good thing is that her times clearly land her in the “recruitable” area for these coaches right now. I will encourage her to mention the time drops, at least in her best events, to the coaches and explain that the intensity level of her training picked up then.
