[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the parent of a top 5 10&U in many events from the SCY season. OP is right that a lot of York 9-10 girls have really improved and ascended. Why are they good: Most swim at Tuckahoe or Chesterbrook in the summer and Yorktown in the winter. They get good coaching with consistent messages and stroke progression year round.  Many are from generational swim families that prioritize swimming from an early age- think age 3, not 9.

Why are there so many now: it ebbs and flows. Look at the 11-12s for York, it’s not nearly as strong.

And for rankings: none of the websites have perfect databases swimcloud, swimmingrank, etc.  I find swimmerstats though frequently out of commission, to give the best, easiest view of rank in an age group within a club / PVS.

Thank you for sharing your experience! [b]Someone else wrote that York is fun, and I would love to know what that means[/b] so we can think about ways to implement more fun at our practice location.[/quote]

York parent here. Not always, but at practice the kids do relays and play games to mix up the kids and cheer for each other. York as a club also does fun outings for the kids (a fall social & costume party, spring bowling, and a few family travel meets throughout the year). The more the kids [and parents] see each other, helps to build friendships. And swimming is more fun when you are with your friends.[/quote]
