[quote=Anonymous]My DS left his team of 6 years in Spring of sophomore year. We knew the coach of the club team he was moving to so he didn't have to try out or wonder what the coach would be like. His previous team was just not exciting for him and the new coach was someone my DS really liked working with previously. So that made the decision pretty easy. It was closer to our house too.
Once you are in high school and they've been swimming for your club team, high school team and summer team, these kids know everyone (or at least a few people so they are not walking in as an outsider).
I will say it was tough for about 3-5 weeks. DS felt the new program was harder and he was tired. He had new people to meet and of course had to adjust to a new way of doing things at practice.
In the end, he is so much happier because the new group really felt like family. They did more things together and he didn't regret his decision at all.

Go for it unless travel time is going to be an issue. For us, travel was easier so that helped.

And by the way, we weren't the only people who moved and some kids moved toward the end of junior year. It happens. And it's not a big deal.
