[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried out yet? NCap isn’t registering new swimmers until June 1, and returning families are given priority. Ncap won’t take a new swimmer without an assessment first, though if your DD is an A swimmer, I suspect she will be fine. We are at a different NCap location but know the GP coach, who is very nice. NCap in general is pretty intense- there is an unspoken expectation that your swimmer will be at all meets and not miss too much practice. There are some very, very fast swimmers, which can be intimidating to some kids. We came from a different club and the coaching in general is vastly superior, but the club itself is huge, so you won’t meet many people except who is in your immediate location. It’s a good team for a kid who thrives on competition- good luck![/quote]
Thanks! She hasn’t tried out yet, the website says registration starts May 1st (although that might be for the returning kids), so we were planning on reaching out to the coach for her age group to see about scheduling her tryout or finding out when open tryouts were going to be held. DD is competitive and she has been excited to start participating in meets since Covid wiped out what would have been her first year competing, but we have given her the heads up that there are kids in this club who will be faster, some a lot faster, than her so that she isn’t shocked/discouraged by that. The website doesn’t give a lot of info on what the time commitments are. If you know, how many times a week do the youngest kids practice and how often do they have meets? [/quote]
