[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have experience w this team w their kid—Jrs (11-14) or the full team?  Do they instruct proper techniques to the kids? Focused on form? Seems like a really serious team?  Is there fun? Any experience welcome. [/quote]

ASA is a great team if you are looking for a balance of intensity and fun.  They have some good swimmers in each group but they seem to also have kids who just like to swim and maybe aren’t as competitive.  juniors generally practices 4x week.

Juniors is the less intense 11-14 age group. The National Development Group is mostly for kids who have multiple JO cuts and above.  There is switching between groups if a kid makes those standards.

ASA has kids who swim in college but no Olympic trial qualifiers recently that I know of - which is a plus for my kid, who loves to swim but won’t make the Olympics.

As for technique, I am not a swimmer so it is hard for me to speak on that but it seems like the kids are improving so must be getting some instruction.  It is a relatively small program so coaches know all the kids. I do think that most juniors have been swimming for a while so they will expect a certain base level of knowledge in how to swim an interval etc.

Tollefson is another good program if you are looking for more intense instruction/this would be your kid’s first team.[/quote]
