[quote=Anonymous]We moved this past winter so have recent experience with 2 different summer teams in 2 different leagues. We have had a night and day experience. The coach at our new team is awesome and fully engaged with all the kids regardless of whether they are a top performer. The coach at our old team didn’t really do anything except chase her kid around the pool during practice, the HS assistants did most of the actual coaching. Common to both teams though is that the top kids are club swimmers so they are not at summer practice a lot, so it wasn’t a matter of the best kids getting the most attention at practice. Where we also saw a difference between our new coach and old coach is the improvements the non club kids make over the course of the summer. The non club kids have improved a ton at our new team, and we didn’t see that type of improvement in the strokes other than freestyle at the old club. All of this is to say it’s appropriate to expect a baseline of decent coaching, and there are good summer coaches out there.[/quote]
