[quote=Anonymous]If you live in McLean, you are at one of a few pools—all of which are in the upper 1-3 divisions with pretty solid developmental programs. Our pool sends out a list of local club and winter stroke options in the area (McLean/ARL). You might ask one of the 8&U coaches for a reco.

In short, you have several Mini options close by including FISH (excellent Mini program), York (up & coming w/ a strong 9-12 program), and AAC (hard to get into & practices at Long Bridge). Machine has the gears program, which leads into their 8&U progran. I think NCAP has a less robust mini program. All of these clubs will have requirements for try-outs with the expectation that 6-7 year olds can do 25 free with side breathing, 25 back without turning over, and probably 25 of dolphin kick. These are also teams so the practices are more regimented and less fun than summer.

If you want something lower key that’s more focused on stroke instruction: Swim Farm (run by the DR head coach), Tsunami (well connected with McLean, runs out of OneLife), and Norman (runs out of Yorktown/WL & uses a lot of the local teams’ HS-age swimmers as coaches). A bit longer of a drive, but we love the stroke instruction by the WeAquatics coaches. They coach out of Chinquapin. [/quote]
