[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shift your focus to the more low key clubs in MoCo: TIBU, QOSA, SDS are the ones that come to mind. Why did he stop with the low-key club he was with last year? I will be honest, age 11 is a hard age to make the larger clubs, especially if your son is admittedly not fast. [/quote] Both of my kids did the lower key club last year and one of them moved to a bigger club. The low key club was not a good fit for us due to it being poorly managed, including coaches not showing up for practices and questionable choices in training (for example, my 9yo never swimming more than a 25 in practices even though at that age they're not even eligible for 25s in meets and the minimum distance is 50). My other child is a more natural swimmer and was able to make it into a bigger club after making huge strides during the summer (almost no progress in winter) and the fact that he's naturally a faster swimmer. Will look into TIBU! Thanks![/quote]
