[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He got poached by Wisconsin bc he trained Ledecky at Prep[/quote]

I believe Yuri coached the younger group at the Prep site, so he coached Ledecky before her first Olympics.  Gemmell definitely claimed to coach her as well. (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/11/sports/swimming-katie-ledecky-coach-bruce-gemmell.html)  His son, Andrew Gemmell was also an Olympian and a distance freestyle swimmer. [/quote]

Yuri was her first coach, that got her to her first Olympics. After Katie's first Olympics, Yuri went on to coach the men's team at Cal. When Yuri left, Bruce Gemmell was brought in, specifically to coach Katie. He got her to her second Olympics.

And I wouldn't call NCAP a centrally run team, in fact far from it. Many of the sites are privately owned, very much like a franchise.[/quote]

Privately owned? They are all run by one CEO- Tom Ugast. He hires all the coaches for all locations[/quote]

The Alexandria location, for one, is privately owned, by J&M swimming. Check-out there TeamUnify website https://www.teamunify.com/Home.jsp?_tabid_=0&team=pvjandm

Tysons was privately owned until Tom pushed out Marylin 3 years ago.

NCAP West is also privately owned. They were a former team, that merged with NCAP years ago, and just took on their name.

Tom doesn't hire out staffing for all the sites, there are some, but not all. Like I mentioned before they operate locations similar to a franchise.

This is right. Not all NCAP sites are the same. OP should talk to people on their summer swim team about where they swim year round. And just FYI, serious swimmers don't go to summer camp or travel a lot in the summer.[/quote]
