So we can assume the county is going to subsidize this and take away from the little space that is available for private clubs? |
*nods grimly* I think that's accurate - you've uncovered this dirty, hidden truth! Now, what do you plan to do about it? |
Yes. It’s strange they don’t open the silver spring pool more hours or the other county pools. |
I don’t care about scores, I care about commute and times offered. |
Except that is exactly what they are doing - the majority of the displaced KSAC need will be absorbed by the new Silver Spring pool according to the schedule they published 2 weeks ago. |
Based on the the schedules posted here I think Silver Spring is only taking a plurality of the programming |
No, it's clearly a majority. Also, keep in mind that all the Glenmont sessions become Silver Spring in the winter and any Glenmont use is not displacing anyone since it's not in use for any other club currently. No other single location is taking as many KSAC sessions as SS if you look across all the groups. |
Based on the schedules below it’s not even close to true. NTG: 1/9 at Silver Spring M W Wheaton-Glenmont 3:45-6pm Tu, W, Fr Montgomery College Rockville 5-6:30am Tu, Th, F Montgomery College Rockville 3:30-5pm Sat SSRAC 6:15-9:15am NDG: 1/5 silver spring M Wheaton-Glennont 6:15-7:45pm Tu, Th Montgomery College germantown 5:30-7:45pm Fr Montgomery College Rockville 6-6:30pm (follow-up email said the time is a typo but not sure what the correct time is) Sat SSRAC 8:15-11am Advanced Senior Group: 1/7 silver spring M W Montgomery College Rockville 3:30-5pm Tu, F Montgomery College Rockville 5-6:30am Tu Th Montgomery College Germantown 4:15-6:30p Sun SSRAC 6:15-8:30am Advanced Juniors: 2/5 silver spring Tu, Th JCC 6:45-8pm Wed: ? (Email said there would be a practice but it was left off the schedule by mistake) Fr SSRAC 5:15-6:45pm Sun SSRAC 7:45-9:15am |
That's only half the groups - where's the rest of the schedule? Glenmont is replaced w/ Silver Spring Nov-Mar. |
The Glemnont makes no sense when the pool is closed in the fall vs. indoor at the Silver Spring pool. No one has said where they will go when it gets too cold. If there is no space in Silver Spring, it wouldn't go there. |
Is that true? My understanding was glenmont is being winterized and will be used year round |
The pool is being heated and the bathrooms are going to be "winterized". The plan is not for year round use but rather this will let them stay open longer into the fall and then open up earlier in the spring. During the months of December, January and February(and maybe longer, maybe shorter, exact dates not known) those RMSC WGOP slots will shift to Silver Spring. So, for example, the Seniors "A" group would essentially be exclusively at Silver Spring in the winter months. Advanced Juniors would have 3 of their 5 sessions at Silver Spring in the winter. STG would have 5 out 6... |
Been hearing about a lot of KSAC moving or trying out for other clubs…feels like a mini exodus. Guess it’s to be expected |
With disruption comes opportunity; there are folks standing by to fill in any slots vacated by incumbents. RMSC will continue at capacity and the kids will adapt and thrive. |
And as always RMSC will learn nothing |
