[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No knock on York but the top 5 clubs at JOs have most 11/12 practicing a lot more than 3/week.  I personally wish more clubs would go that way but most seem to require more time in the pool - particularly NCAP and RMSC, the [b]very highest scorers[/b].  They are also rated very highly as clubs every year.  Also, I have no background in swimming and presumably these coaches do.

(Also digging into the numbers, York’s points are mostly scored in the 10 and under category. My guess is those kids are practicing 3/week and that is largely the same as the other clubs.  It is at 11/12 where things seem to ramp up around  here.  Not making a value judgment, more pointing out a complicated issue.)

Part of this really is numbers. They are both just so much bigger than other clubs. And then people see "success" and switch to these clubs as kids age. But yes, these clubs are heavily present in JO finals and I can speak to the RMSC system, the top 6th graders are swimming 5 times per week. There are also 6th graders swimming twice per week. The choices are there. [/quote]
