As for NCap, on the VA side, three of their top age group/open swimmers left for AAC. On the MD side, one of their top age group swimmers left for another MD team. Ten? Older kids left the Prep site in the course of a few months.

Yes, swimmers leave teams- but you have to wonder why NCap has had so much happen in the last two years

Well, there were swimmers at nationals this past week from NCAP Prep and NCAP West.

Literally 2 of the 4 only kids who stayed in that group. And I assume the third NCAP swimmer at Nationals is from West site, based on your statement.

AAC/RMSC swimmers at Nationals were not NCAP transfers, they are long time swimmers with their current clubs.

MACH didn’t take anyone.

Four top swimmers might have left— but more than four more top swimmers transferred in.

Not a Prep

Among the women there were at least 2 current Prep swimmers, 1 current West swimmer, 1 West alum (college swimmer now), Phoebe Bacon and Katie Ledecky, which doesn’t necessarily support the theory floated that Machine is the best program in PVS, at least on the female side. Let’s be honest, AAC is riding Torri Huske’s coattails, but she is not the norm for that program. I’m not super familiar with RMSC’s swimmers but I’m not aware that they had any female swimmers at Nationals.
