The 10 year olds aren’t trying out for a developmental group, they are looking at juniors and advanced juniors. Generally MLK is easier to get into than KSAC. At age 10, I would say having B times is probably the baseline you would want to have to get in.

Are there time standards for 25yds?

They should be doing 50's, not 25 at that age.

Sorry, I am not op. My child is 8 and hasn’t done many 50s at meets

If your child is 8 (and not turning 9 sometime this summer) and legal in all 4 strokes, they should be able to make minis.

RMSC’s age cut off deadline is the end of the calendar year

Rockville is a tad easier than KSAC. Not all RMSC coaches are good. Rockville senior coach sucks the big one. Horrible person and coach.

No, there are no time standards for 25’s. And no time standards for 8u. I think the reason is because usa swimming wanted to discourage 8u swimmers from setting short term goals to achieve swim standards at the expense of developing for the long run.

A times, or A meet times? A meet times doesn’t mean anything without the league/division/team.

Thanks. New to all this. Slow A meet times on a MCSL Division F team.

Very few kids get in. KSAC is really hard to get in and the juniors coach is terrible. Olney and MLK are easier to get into.

The juniors coach is terrible? Yikes, my kid will be in juniors this fall.

She screams and is nasty to kids and parents. Other coaches don’t want to work with her. They don’t do much and the kids fall behind. Senior coaches are great. She’s so bad mine wanted to quit. Minis coach is far far better too.

I heard rumblings that none of this is happening until at least next summer, so the upcoming indoor season should still be at KSAC.

It's December 1st. Just clarifying in case of December birthdays

I heard it was in the fall as that pool is opening and it was a mix of outdoor pools they added heaters to and the new pool.

Current KSAC family, we have been told by a coach (and told to spread the word) we’ll be at KSAC at least until summer 2024.

Our coaches sent out an email that they don't know anything and will tell us when they know something. Wonder why they are pushing off the remodel. KSAC desperately needs it.

Nothing goes according to plan/schedule when you talk about construction - the SS facility was supposed to open a year ago and it's still not open.

The KSAC remodel hinges on the the SS center being up and operational and the upgrades to Glenmont to accommodate the displacement as well as other factors.

The most recent 'old' estimated timeline had KSAC shutting down in early 24 my guess is with where things stand now, they probably go through the spring and shut things down in May/June 2024 but who knows if their will be yet more delays.

From what I read the Silver Spring Facility has been completed, but not open yet. Not sure about Glenmont but swimming in the winter would not be fun. Glenmont should have been replaced vs. added a heater.
