[quote=Anonymous]Glenmont is low key and their pool is awesome and lots of fun for kid. higher chances for saturday morning A meet. Bethesda has some serious swimmers/club swimmers but could also be low key if you only want to swim B meet. no requirements for # of practices/week for both teams (i guess). as i know, no family waits to take vacations. choose the one close to your home. sometimes team party could last late to 9 or 10 pm after practice or b meets.

[quote=Anonymous]Any insight folks can share from personal or second-hand experience about the Long Branch summer swim team?  (Or the Glenmont, and/or Bethesda summer swim teams if they'd be a better choice?)

Looking for a good fit for an 8 year old who just barely meets the minimum requirements (or at least I think she does-- I guess I don't know how high the standards are for "a coordinated stroke and rhythmic breathing") and has no swim team experience... and her totally clueless swim-newbie parents.  Would she (and we) be able to have a fun and fairly low-key experience at Long Branch (or Glenmont, or Bethesda)?

How many practices a week would we need to make sure to get her to?  Does it matter if it's morning vs evening?

Is it okay if we take some vacation time during the swim season, or do families usually wait until the season is over?  Are there any particularly fun meets/activities/etc that she'd likely be bummed to miss if we were on vacation?

Thanks so much for any insight you can share!  [/quote][/quote]
