[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people I know whos kids swim for the in house St James team do it for convenience. they like that they can participate in 3 month increments vs committing to a full 9 months. However, I have not been impressed with any of the kid I have seen who swim there. Their technique is pretty bad. Not sure it that is because of poor coaching or because these kids just aren't that committed. [/quote]

Yet, there was one event at NVSL all stars where St James kids claimed 3 of the top 5 spots. You might not have been impressed by that but I know others were.[/quote]

Those kids are great swimmers and great people and they should be proud of their accomplishment! However, you've got to put it in context that the 15-18 events had massive amounts of scratches because of the conflict with the Futures meet for the highest level swimmers. St James didn't send anyone to Futures, and I don't think they even had any qualifiers. Maybe because the kids who swim there are doing other sports as well or aren't as all in on swimming.[/quote]
St. James only sent 2 total swimmers to the 12 and Under LC Champs, 13 and Over LC Champs and the LC Open Champs combined. St. James flexibility is great for kids who do other sports but it is not a place that churns out swimmers at the highest levels. [/quote]

Yes, obviously they had very few kids in the LC session. Still the option is there. [/quote]
