[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]

For as small as their team might be they have a few kids that are the top swimmers in PVS at the championship meets. [/quote]
Why do people talk out of their @sses with stuff like this? There were a grand total of 2 St. James swimmers in the the 3 PVS champs meets this summer and neither of them made finals. They were better represented in the spring 14 and Under SC champs meet, 12 swimmers, but only 3 of them made any finals, none of them placed first, and it appears they have 2 female age groupers who are strong breaststrokers. That does not equal “top swimmers in PVS at the championship meets”.[/quote]

Sounds about right. Point is the coaching is plenty good enough to help kids get better if they want to and to help even part time swimmers compete at a high level if they want to. [/quote]

That sounds like what we are looking for, thanks. Our kid is competitive, but we aren’t going to drag them to unnecessary morning practices and add more pool time to their busy week just to make the club more money. They cross train.  I don’t buy into all of that mileage garbage for 12 year olds.[/quote]
