I can’t imagine many kids fall into that bin. If you swim for him at tuckahoe and at York you obviously like him and are going to move with him. If you just swim with him at tuckahoe and a part of another club team it’s understandable why you wouldn’t move. If you just swim for him at York you won’t have further interactions.

Counting down to when this entire thread gets deleted like the Hydra thread. I kindly suggest that folks commenting on what will happen next start a separate thread.

There is no large conspiracy here as much as the DCUM crowd wants to create one. Our kids are moving to Hydra because the like the coaches and the location is convenient for us. Many other kids in our practice are staying at the York Yorktown site because they live in Arlington and getting out to McLean mid-afternoon is not convenient. Many of the Tuckahoe families were swimming at other clubs before Hydra was a thing and will continue to do so.

why does this all trigger you so much? Just stop reading. There is has been nothing in this thread or the hydra one that merits totally deleting the entire thread. There were some specific comments that were deleted for reason, but deleting it all because some people got feeling hurt is just crazy.

In my opinion, the Hydra thread discussing the percentage of kids from Tuckahoe and those who are not from Tuckahoe was completely obsessive. However, it didn't violate any policies other than being annoying and obsessive. I think this coach and this club have received too much focus. It's crazy that he has gotten this much attention, especially when I haven't seen any posts about the MU NCAP coach who was in the news and faced legal complaints. It's kind of crazy if you ask me.

Doesn't it fall under the category of all press is good press? I had no idea about Hydra. Think this area could use more clubs (and pools) so sounds good. I just don't live near that area. I do think their pricing is high particularly for a new club.

[Anonymous]

Tuckahoe parents are rich so pricing doesn’t matter.

[Anonymous]

I just can’t imagine paying full price knowing tuckahoe members are getting discounts. A USA swimming club should not be giving discounts based on summer pool membership. If they’re so separate after all…

[Anonymous]

Full price with no confirmed meet schedule to boot. No thanks.

Personally, I just want to know when the other York coaches are going to tell their kids that they’re leaving York for Hydra.

Do they need to tell them? They are on the hydra site so unless their parents live under a rock, everyone knows.

[Anonymous]

They’re all assistant coaches. No one cares.

Current Machine parent planning to switch to Hydra because it is convenient--both for location and practice schedule, allowing the kid to do other sports easily. For all the posts of championship meets, that's not a huge priority for this swimmer. Nice to have another option that fits the schedule well.

This is such a bot post and I don’t buy that you are really a machine parent who is switching. Machine hasn’t even put out their new schedule yet so how do you know hydra is better? And with the excepting of afternoon practices for seniors the hydra schedule is pretty much the same as what Machine had.
