[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since no one else has yet, I'm going to give a big plug for the Bethesda Barracudas. It's an amazing team - great kids, great parents, great team culture. There are swimmers of all abilities, and everyone is super supportive. My son started when he was 7 and could barely swim 25 yards. But he caught the bug during his first summer and is now swimming year round on a competitive club team. [/quote]

Not sure if you are from Bethesda Maryland or if you are referring to a different Bethesda Barracudas team. The Bethesda team in MCSl has mean nasty parents who are ambitious and all about winning. The team is not spirited whatsoever, they do not cheer at all. Most of the kids just show up for the meets on Saturday. And they’ll add kids throughout the season from club teams if it looks like they are going lose a meet, bumping kids who have been there all season down the list. One year they brought in 20 kids from Ugandas national team to improve their team.

I would steer clear of Bethesda if you want your kids to enjoy swimming or have fun in MCSL. [/quote]
