Hi...I am happy to say that your daughter is at the 10th centile according to growth charts. It is very much normal and the sign of a health growing child. Moreover you say she is also participating in Tennis,basketball other than swimming...I do not think you need to worry about her weight.

I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause drowsiness.
