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.

So I'm the bot parent. As I said, the schedule is more convenient and allows for multiple sports. Yes, I'm specifically talking about senior swimming afternoons/evenings.

Curious how afternoon/evening practice allow for other sports? We actually did the opposite and moved to mornings to avoid conflicts with other sports.

Other sport practices in evenings. Can't do both with morning practices.

so how do you swim and have other same sports practices all in the evening?

Alternating days for practices, back to back practices, etc. In this instance, practice ends at 10pm which makes 430am extremely difficult if I want my kid to have more than 5 hours sleep daily.

10 pm?!? What sport??

When do they do homework if they have back to back sports ending at 10 pm?

This. Pretty sure posts like this is why the other thread was deleted. Anonymous allegations without any facts or details pushed to harm the reputation of a coach.

As someone who swam for the MU coach, when he coached at NCAP Burke, I very much believe it.

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…

Not sure who's getting a discount, but as a Tuckahoe member I'm not getting any discount....

You should be.. according the Tuckahoe website: Hydra’s programs are open to the public, but Tuckahoe members will receive priority registration and a discounted registration fee. This ensures continued access for returning winter swimmers and families seeking consistent training through the fall and winter months.

As a Tuckahoe member, I was wondering about the mentioned Tuckahoe member discount too. After an email search, I found it mentioned in the 4/27/2025 club email. I already feel like I’m subsidizing this new joint venture through my “nominal” 8% annual fee increase. The max fee increase is 10% so I wouldn’t call 8% nominal, Mr. President. Still waiting for my shareholder certificate.

I would want to know where every penny of that increase is going…

If not a bot then not that the Machine Chesterbrook schedule is out and includes a lot more senior afternoon options are you still switching?

The Machine Chesterbrook Senior level swim offerings are impressive. It could be a good landing spot for the displaced Marymount swimmers and is convenient for their own age groupers as they move up. Does anyone know anything about their senior level coaches?

Also curious. My swimmer is leaving York and considering this over NCAP with the new changes...

My 2 kids have been swimming there for few years now, starting in afternoons in HP and Gears and now in mornings (Senior/Natl Prep and HP/Senior). They like their practice groups and like the coaching staff.

My guess is that one of my kids current coaches is the Senior group coach or at least one of the Senior coaches. He is a current senior group coach right now in the mornings. My kid has nothing but good things to say. When switching sites was a possibility bc of Mach getting the T-boot, he wanted to stay with coach E if that was workable.

‘Fringe benefits’.

I understood that the current machine tuckahoe coaches were going to chesterbrook mornings. I think these coaches are amazing and my swimmer definitely wanted to stay with them.
