[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both those clubs are the exact same, except RMSC doesn't have any coaches in jail for ....

with that said, you are going to swim back and forth back and forth.  at least 6 people per lane, the attention goes to the top kids and the slower more crowded lanes are just there for revenue.   [/quote]

To some degree this is true.  I have a now elite HS swimmer.  Kid came up through the RMSC ranks and was not an early star.  Strokes were crummy (at least some of them) until about age 12.  My kid moved up out of the "advanced juniors" groups, and [b]THEN got excellent stroke instruction. Combined with maturity, my kid was able to quickly implement the changes. [/b]Other clubs definitely teach stroke technique more in the younger years and don't do as much endurance training.  For my kid, RMSC has worked well and he's out swimming many summer club friends who have trained at NCAP or other smaller clubs.  I've noticed a number of kids that moved from RMSC to NCAP have not swum particularly well there.  If you are going into one of their lower level groups, don't expect it to make your kid an elite swimmer.  That's not to say it's not a better fit than the lower level groups at RMSC, it may well be.  But, as an NCAP friend told me, there is definitely NCAP "retail" and NCAP "elite."  They are reportedly two different experiences.[/quote]
