Any thoughts / experiences on the swim programs of NCAP v Sea Devils? Thinking 2-3 times per week for a 9-10 year old boy and 7 year old girl. They both love swimming & swim on summer teams.

We swam with NCAP and we now swim with Sea Devils. Sea Devils is more laid back and less stressful. They believe that younger children should practice twice a week for an hour. They want younger children to be involved in other activities. As they get older and decide that swimming is their passion--rather than their parents', they practice longer and harder. They run about 4 of their own meets with like-minded teams.
NCAP is concerned purely with results--not the child's well being. We are very happy with Sea Devils. Also, Sea Devils is owned by one person, while NCAP is a franchise. Sea Devils is well-run. There is an administrator, and a Board of Directors. Most of your communication will be via email, but don't be put off. It's a great program. We will be swimming at St. Alban's this season. Oh-and the coaching is excellent. |

| My kids did the SD clinics at Tuckahoe. They were low key and non-competitive. One hour per week. I just wish it was a little cheaper. |
