The club isn't necessarily 50-50 on gender numbers, but all practices are mixed. Lanes are assigned by speed/stamina and/or specific focuses, not by gender.

Our site has three different groups for that age range, but they're categorized by speed and commitment level, not by numerical age.

The one bright line is between middle school and high school - the requirement to change groups can come with the school transition rather than the age transition, even if it's not a promotion in terms of group difficulty.

They said after 2nd tryout in July. Their advanced groups should have spots. Someone with mid level swimmer at KSAC said they are full in their regular group.

We didn’t get that information at the senior tryout. They were talking with one male swimmer, giving the parents their cell phone number. Then, when I asked about my daughter they were unsure of an exact date for results for the advanced groups.

My kid will be at the TOLL try out next week, so that’s a good distraction while we wait. We know several girls her age that left advanced TOLL groups for various teams so hoping that means there will be open spots.

That sounds strange. Coaches/staff don't give out phone numbers.

It's odd indeed. The coaches in our site (not Ksac) don't give phone numbers as well, they also wouldn't have time to talk to parents during open try out.

Maybe it was an elite kid or something. Our KSAC coach is fantastic but its by email.

Yeah, I doubt the coach was giving out their phone number.

I was there and definitely saw the boy. He was much much faster than everyone else and coaches were talking to him individually. But I didn’t see them talking to the parents.

The parents were talking to the coach in the bleachers after most of the swimmers left (right before the younger age group try out). The boy also spent a lot of time out of the pool during the tryout. My child assumed they were in the bathroom.

They were probably a club transfer and going into a high level group then. Maybe it was the regular rmsc number.

Maybe an NVSL team was trying to recruit him.

Goodness so many people jumping to conclusions. Maybe the swimmer was having a medical issue, hence why he was in the locker room. Yes, even elite swimmers can have medical problems.

How can you assume the coach was giving out his cell number? Maybe he gave the number to the reach an rmsc/county administrator. Or maybe he gave the main office phone number? Or maybe the ksac site director has a work phone since his current office is being demolished and he’s traveling around to multiple locations.
