Generally, the larger and more affluent high schools are going to have more of the serious year-round swimmers, and that’s where it will be harder to make the team.
As far as just continuing lessons, it partly depends on what you mean by lesson. A lot of lessons are geared toward younger kids. As kids get older, it is more common for them to either do club swimming or a once a week maintenance program offered by their summer league team. There are a few non-competitive options like stroke schools that are geared toward older elementary/middle school aged kids, but those can be a little bit harder to find and harder to get into because spots are limited.
OP here. I'm looking at the MoCo stroke and turn clinic, or the Nation's Capitol Swim Club developmental program (is that program too intense? It looks like it's just weekly classes through the school year with a focus on skill development, which is what we want). Would you recommend one of those or something else? We have exhausted the strip mall swim school classes and I'm looking for next steps so she can keep swimming since she really likes it.
