[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What USA swim teams have some flexible options for evening practice? We are searching for practice 2 to 4 times a week, ideally between 5 and 8 PM, and bonus if they allow practice make-ups or flexibility. [b]We also would like communication and attention from the coaches, even if you’re not a top swimmer or are still developing technique. [/b]No playing favorites- we’re all paying the same amount of money and volunteering to the team- everybody deserves attention and communication equally, not just the favorites.

NCAP and Machine require eventually getting to five days a week or early morning practices. Makos gives a lot more attention the fast top swimmers and certain parents, and communication is not great from some coaches. [/quote]

This isn't going to happen anywhere. Having said that, we don't have a super fast swimmer and we've been fine with Marlins. We went into it knowing it's basically just good exercise for our kid with the option for her to challenge herself at meets. That's it. As for practices, you're going to have more flexibility with the younger ages. As they get older, due to pool/lane availability, early morning is usually the only way to get all the practices in.[/quote]

Thank you. [/quote]
