[quote=Anonymous]From the sound of your post you are in Arlington? There are tons of year round swimmers that aren't that good- don't let that deter you at all. Look at the teams that have convenient practices. AAC is a good team, they pretty much practice at Long Bridge. York practices at Yorktown and Renaissance (this is behind Marshall high school). Machine practices at Tuckahoe and I think somewhere in Tysons. NCAP practices at Marymount and Tysons. (Several of those teams have lots of other practice sites as well- I'm just listing practice sites close to Arlington). All of these teams will require a tryout. I don't think any of them are competitive in a best swimmer sort of way, rather, if your swimmer is legal in all 4 strokes, and there is space when they open registration to new members, they will accept your swimmer at age 9. Look at whether the standard practice is 2 or 3 days a week- NCAP and Machine may require 3 days a week- York and AAC both have plenty of 2 day a week options. For a 9 year old I would do 2 days a week. Let the child decide when they want to move up to more. Key is finding a team that has a practice schedule that works for you.[/quote]
