[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m very curious about this. One of my kids is pretty talented and we are with a team that is not mentioned here. I am constantly worried that I’m doing this kid a disservice by not going with a bigger, more expensive club.

One thing I wonder is whether the training group itself - the actual kids - is worth the cost. In other words, is everyone fart and pushing each other?[/quote]

My DD is an A/AA swimmer now and last year was her first year participating in club swim. Her rapid improvement was due not only to the coaching she has gotten at NCAP but the training group as well. She swims with kids her age, she’s not outside of her age group, but the lane of kids she swims with are also fast. That has helped motivate her, and her training within the training group is more rigorous than the other lanes with different intervals, different sets, etc. I think it’s probably a little more difficult to get the best out of a kid if they are clearly the best swimmer in their group and there is no one to push them and they are training under their capabilities because the other kids can’t keep up.[/quote]

+1. I could have written this. DD also swims for NCAP and has an awesome training group of very talented swimmers that push her and a coach she loves.[/quote]

+1 Agree!! DS is really enjoying his training group at NCAP Burke.  He’s in a practice group with kids his age and speed which is very important to us.  We are newer to the area and yes the fees were 😳 but you get what you pay for.  We have a great coach who has a great connection with the kids, the training is very high quality and our DS has had great time drops all season and definitely excelling. He’s happy, doesn’t ever complain about going to practices. We love the late afternoon practice slot.  We’d previously only had morning options and it was a daily struggle to wake up so early. It seems like a great group of kids and they have a lot of fun while working hard.  Couldn’t ask for more[/quote]

+1 for NCAP-Burke. Our child started at 7 and has a fantastic rapport with the coaches, along with so many great friends.[/quote]
