[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Looking at Marlins and Makos. Do you feel like these teams work with the kids on technique? I am more interested in my kids developing the proper form for each stroke than swimming a lot of laps multiple times a week. Kids will be 7 and 9. [/quote] I was not impressed at all with the Marlins for this age group. Maybe it's better for the top swimmers or at other locations (we were at Audrey Moore, can't speak to the others), but for everyone else, there's not much coaching at all on technique, communication was lacking, practices were cancelled all the time because the older kids were off at a meet somewhere (no practice even for the kids not swimming), coaches didn't show up to meets so parents were left to figure out when kids were swimming... I could go on. In the end, we left because my child's coach was cranky and not good with kids, so we went to another team which has also been mentioned above.[/quote] Exact same experience in Cub Run with Marlins. Not so much the canceled practices, but not much coaching or technique going on. We moved to York and are much happier.[/quote]
