[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you reached out to your current coach?  Sometimes they just need to know what's going on.  I also think what you're asking is very hard to answer because it is soo personality driven.  My kids swim at KSAC.  I know a few people who have moved to Rockville and been happy (but I think they particularly like the 13 and up coach there so I don't know about 9-10).  One of my kid has also swum at two smaller clubs before moving to RMSC.  The smaller clubs definitely could give more personal attention and support, but that's a double-edge sword.  I found it often came off as playing favorites.  If one particular kid is vey high anxiety and the coach spend 10 minutes working with that kid before each race and just talks to the other kids as a group, its great for the needy child, but can breed animosity among peers.

Very insightful, thank you. There seems to be a culture of coaches being annoyed with the children at our site and I don’t think it is something a phone call can correct so we are looking to move on. We are considering NCAP but if we can stay with RMSC at a different site we want to consider that as well. I think I’ll show up and observe a Rockville practice and see if it would be better.

RMSC is a factory.
If you want touchy geeky attention go to NCAP just be prepared for sticker shock.[/quote]

It very much is a factory but cost difference is huge.  You can switch sites.  Email the pool coordinator.  We switched sites, no issue but there was room in the other site.  We had to do it for distance/location reasons as we were happy at the old site.  [/quote]
