[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our summer coach is a Machine coach too. Looked into it last year but the price was 3x more than some of the smaller clubs. Also the practices are 90 mins 3x a week and that was too much imo for a 10yo. We went with a more low key team that also practices at Fairland. [/quote]

We are considering Machine and it is significantly less than the previous club, but the previous club was very overpriced. [/quote]

We decided to go for it! The groups at Fairland were starting to get full and we had a positive impression of the program after meeting the head coach and being evaluated (he helped us tailor a plan specific to our needs/level that will help my child learn better technique). I am new to this, but I have been impressed so far (i didnt get the inpression it was a high pressure environment- far from it- seemed very supportive and genuinely interested in the swimmer). [/quote]

Congratulations! Is Machine hard to get into? There are other three clubs practicing at Fairland. They are much less expensive and probably less competitive. Don’t know if my swimmer is strong enough for Machine.[/quote]

I dont think so, but I am new to this - we got a late start for a variety of reasons.

I scheduled an evaluation and met with the head coach and he gave me advice on how to proceed (what he would would do ifit were his kid). He was supportive and wanted to ease my child into things and set up a strategy to help my child with texhnique and stroke while avoiding burnout. My child swam with another Mavhine coach this past summer and a few kids feom our team swim at Fairland with Machine. I can tell you, our summer team was pretty awesome and all of the parents are pretty laid back. Ine of the moms specifically chose Machine because it was a better fit for her family (versus RMSC).

Good luck!!!

We are also considering Machine for an older swimmer. The Fairland site director is very responsive. You can find his contact information on the website. [/quote]
