I know that both Machine and NCAP have groups that practice at Claude Moore. Are there any other clubs out of CM?
Which club would be best? Looking for my 13-year old. Multi-sport athlete but still looking to swim year round. We have not been happy with our current club for a year or two and need to make a switch. |

| NCAP-CM has some of the fastest kids. Can’t speak to why and how, but they are good. That said, the facility is 👎🏻. |

| NCAP is rebranding their sites in that area as NCAP Loudoun. NCAP Dulles South and Claude Moore are now under the umbrella of NCAP Loudoun and they are also using a pool in Ashburn. NCAP CM had been the site with the fastest swimmers, but no idea how the rebrand is impacting the practice group set up and progression. |

CM is a bit dumpy and long in the tooth - anyone know if renovations are in store for it any time soon? |

| I have a younger swimmer that was with Machine at Claude Moore. The Loudoun programs are shifting slightly with the addition of the Ashburn facility. We liked our time at Claude Moore and are only switching to Ashburn for convenience. You can ask to “try out” with the coach your child would be swimming with. I believe there’s a once a week maintenance program but other than that, they’re going to have a 13 year old swimming multiple days a week. We absolutely love Machine, no experience with NCAP. |

| My son was with machine at cm last year. We thought the facility was fantastic. Big, clean, and well run. |

This is old news. CM is not dumpy and had renovations years ago. That said the top groups will be swimming at the new facility in Ashburn. |
