When looking at pricing, Machine and NCAP are in the 5K range and a lot of the other clubs are in the $3500 range for similar practice schedules.

But, for a competitive swimmer Machine and NCAP have less kids in a lane, the coaches pull out swimmers and work one on one, and they attend a lot more meets and travel meets.  I don't know of any other clubs in the area that do as many.  They do out of area meets that are without qualifying times to give that experience. If you have a swimmer at that level, that is a big deal.[/quote]
For an average B/BB swimmer you are not going to get your money’s worth out of the most expensive clubs. However, if your kid is a high performer, the extras you get by being at a club like NCAP (cohort of other fast swimmers to train with, the chance to participate in travel meets with other fast swimmers, training trip opportunities, training that is geared toward elite swimmers as you get older, access to their top coaches) make the extra money worthwhile.

I get that, but does NCAP really have 2000 AAAA swimmers?  [/quote]
Nope, but this is the DMV, plenty of parents that want to say their kid swims with NCAP. I don’t understand it either. Unless no other club was as convenient to my house, or only NCAPs practice times worked for our schedules, I wouldn’t put a B/BB swimmers in NCAP. [/quote]
