[quote=Anonymous]My kid swims with juniors.  Rory Lewis is the coach and I think he is a very good technical coach. He has helped my kid with stuff but they have to be willing to listen.

My understanding is kids either stay in juniors or move to NDG if they have the cuts.  In high school, it is advanced seniors or NTG if a kid is hoping to swim in college.  You need sectionals cuts to swim NTG, I believe.  It is all on the website and beat to consult because I may be leaving stuff out.

On our summer team, ASA had the most stable practice situation compared to other clubs for which teammates swim.  I also appreciated Twinbrook because few clubs get long course practice (but it is too shallow to dive so glad there was still Stone Ridge practice too).  A lot of clubs lost pool space, including ASA, but I was grateful that my kid could stay in the pool and could practice inside.  Also Stone Ridge didn’t feel that different than what I hear goes on at Georgetown Prep or Holton sites for other clubs.

NCAP and RMSC seem like great programs too.  The Stone Ridge site was most convenient for our family.  Also, I am not hoping for an Olympian so a small program seems great. :). If you have that caliber of swimmer, then NCAP or RMSC seem the way to go. I also know families who swear by sea devils and Tollefson.

My advice is to take a slot where your child can get it.  The COVID restrictions have really limited the numbers and I worry about the numbers spiking and shutting things down.  Good luck!
