Ironically, these particular swimmers would have rarely swum at SR.

Two practiced at Georgetown Prep and the other American U during their high school years. High level club swimmers train with their club teams all season in this area. NCAP doesn't practice at SR, All Star Aquatics does. The SR coach is an ASA club coach.

The coincidence of being SR students has a lot to do with knowing that SR HS was willing/able to accommodate them as elite athletes. [/quote]

My daughter was at NCS when Katie Ledecky won her first gold medal. I don't know whether she swam for SR on not, but she at least attended meets, because the NCS girls were so excited to see her. And she was lovely to them.[/quote]

As the PP said, these elite swimmers like Katie don't practice with the team at SR, however, they do swim in all the meets.  My daughter is friendly with a swimmer who practices pretty much 7 days a week with her club coach but swims in the meets with SR. This gives the SR coach the opportunity to work more closely with the rest of swimmers who are not at that elite level.
