[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by “the intensity of summer swim”? If you mean daily practices and associated shenanigans, then a club program won’t require the same level of commitment. If you mean the actual intensity of practices, then a traditional club program may not be a good fit. Every club program in this town will be far more intense than the fun-fest that is summer swim practices—especially at 8&U. We are in D1 and the only truly intense practices are, I believe, at Tuckahoe (maybe CB). And even those are likely easier than club practices at most age groups.

Many pools have a 1 day per week winter swim program. That could be a good option for you, especially if paired with Swim Farm or Norman another 1-2 days/week.

Not sure of your location, but the Marlins & Swim Farm are not close to each other in the grand scheme of Northern VA traffic. Swim Farm & Norman both practice out of the Arlington pools.

If you are in ARL/McLean/Vienna, FISH has a good mini program that swims out of Spring Hill. Practices are 2-3x/week and meets are monthly-ish.

If you are on a higher division team, it does become harder to stay on the A Meet roster once you hit 9-10 unless your kid swims club  or your kid is a really good athlete. [/quote]
+1 to all of this.  Well said.[/quote]
