Different from the ones listed above?

That's what is odd about the "nightmare" comment...I think it was a weak troll attempt.

The updated schedule is mostly the same as the initial schedule they sent out, only minor tweaks/adjustments. The most significant change was the "Senior" group was split into Senior A and Senior B and they added the dryland times... aside from that it was just minor adjustments to what was already posted above.

Yes, if you are in seniors and not guaranteed choice it’s a nightmare.

"If"...

I have not heard that they said you won't get a choice or the selection wont be based on where you live... With 2 days of overlap/being the same for A and B(Wed and Sun), it looks like they intentionally set up a north and south option to accommodate where people live - those north and west would likely favor the B group and those south and east would favor/select the A group. If that's the case, it seems like a pretty good plan to me.

But, if it turns out you live, say, someplace like North Farm and you have no say and get paced in Seniors A, then that would be a nightmare... but I haven't heard that this is the case so I'll hold off with the doom and gloom for now.

And most kids in seniors practice 2-3 times a week. So this doesn’t sound like anything to cry over.

Who is paying for all this pool time?

Is this a serious question...?

Why don't you give us your wildest guess.

They don't pay for the county pool time so the question is a reasonable one of who will pay for the pool time at the MC or JCC or other locations. Will they raise the fees again?

That's a longstanding false narrative - they do pay for the county pool time. And I'm quite sure they will also have to pay wherever else they end up. No free lunch.

Prices for everything are going up, I wouldn't be surprised if club swim fees go up too.

Someone previously posted that they do pay for county pool time.

The real question is how this change and uncertainty will affect the IMX scores for KSAC swimmers.

No they don’t. The fees above the coaches salaries go to cover operations. But at a normal pool, you might pay $25/hour per lane. They wouldn’t have that line item anywhere paying the county for pool time. They get the lanes for free and anything left over goes to cover general operations

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.
