[quote=Anonymous]The best recommendation someone gave us was to join where our children’s school friends attend. If you homeschool, join where you find a positive pool culture. Do a summer membership the first year before purchasing the bond. If your kids swim club (USA Swimming), you may also decide to look at pools where their club teammates swim.

Finally, for NVSL pools, look at the times of the swimmers for the pools you are considering. In the whole U.S, only one summer league is sized similar to (or maybe larger than) NVSL (Atlanta Swim Assoc), but surely there is nothing quite like the top-to-bottom talent you will find in NVSL. If your kids’ times do not position them to swim A Meets, they probably won’t have the opportunity to swim relays (unless the pool does relays in B meets). And, let’s face it, summer league should be about snow cones and relays! (The use of “A” and “B” meets in the DC suburban leagues is something very different than we find in other summer leagues around the country).

You can go to this page - https://www.mynvsl.com/leaders - and use the “Criteria” fields to select 2023 + the pools and age groups of interest. This will show you generally which kids were swimming A Meets in 2023.

Fair Oaks is a very nice pool, but has limitations for joining (you must live within a 5 or 8 mile radius, I believe).[/quote]
