[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to the DC area, where every parent is a tiger parent and competition for spots in kids' programs is intense.  Year-round swim clubs usually do evaluations in early/mid summer and by now I would presume most teams close-in to DC are full.  AAC, York, Machine, NCAP are the ones that most Arlington kids swim for to my knowledge. Reach out and see if it's even worth getting on waitlists at all of them.

Are you on a waitlist for one or more summer pools?  [b]Be prepared to be shocked that the big pools in Arlington all have multi-year waiting lists so depending on where you are you may also want to look at pools in nearby Alexandria or Falls Church[/b].  [/quote]

Seriously???  My kids were swimming club and swam two different summer leagues for fun. It was never an issue to join a pool or a team.[/quote]
Most of the big clubs started practice in the last week or 2 so their evaluation period is over. However, if your kids swam club previously and are good, it can’t hurt to reach out to clubs you are interested in and provide their times. The big private clubs like NCAP and Machine are more likely to be able to take a good club swimmer even though the evaluation period has passed.  [/quote]
