[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Running through a pro-con list of the area teams for faster swimmers, I am wondering if I am missing something:

[b]RMSC[/b]
Pros
- less expensive since it is subsidized
- dedicated pool space

Cons
- crowded
- depending on where you are in the county, not that convenient

[b]ASA[/b]
Pros
- dedicated pool
- smaller team

Cons
- [/b]don't go to as high-profile meets[b]
- if you don't like your teammates it's so small it's a problem
- age group coaches are great but not so great national-level coach

[b]Machine[/b]
Pros
- awesome outcomes and recruiting
- family-owned and run team

Cons
- for us the only one I can think of is that the locations are not convenient if you live in Montgomery County

[b]NCAP[/b]
Pros
- They attend and hold big meets with fast swimmers
- Some good coaches

Cons
- Some seriously mediocre coaches, and bc they have so many locations there is no quality control across location so you have to get lucky
- Expensive! Is this bc they have so many locations so it should be more convenient??
- Current CEO was supposedly somehow involved in the sexual abuse issues in the 90's and never suffered any consequences
- Even though there are a lot of locations, some teams are still swimming outdoors? Is this true?!

Like what? We’re RMSC NTG and ASA is typically at same meets (NCSA, Winter juniors). They do typically also do a slightly slower championship meet (NASA/ISCA I think and I’ve seen Zones), but bring more kids.[/quote]

Sorry, bold messed up. This was in reference to ASA @ high profile meets.[/quote]
