[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 102 teams in the NVSL (Northern Virginia Swim League).  If you choose to live in Virginia, chances are pretty good you will find a summer team. Some pools have long waitlists, others have none.  The teams and their waitlist info can all be found on mynvsl.com.  On that website you can also see how each team competed this season (and previous seasons if you are so inclined to look).  This would give you an indicator on where your kids might fall on the competitive scale.

Anywhere you land, summer swim is meant to be fun and an engaging experience for your swimmers. Good luck![/quote]
This is great advice! There are some other great threads on here that break down the difference between summer and club swim.  Summer swim is fun and a great way for the whole family to build relationships in a new area.  I'm so glad my family had this option after a big move from out of state.  One note is that the times (at least in NVSL) are short course meter (SCM) and they don't use starting blocks, so the times are incomparable to times from USA Swimming and many other leagues.

Also, could we all please try to leave the Rays, NCAP, and RMSC out of this?  The humor and drama is lost on someone new to the area that doesn't have context on all the other threads and local swim politics.  Fortunately, there are several other active discussions for that!

Welcome to the area and good luck with your search!  I hope you check back in once you've landed on a neighborhood and we can help suggest teams that might have openings and be a good fit for what you're looking for. [/quote]

Also, pick a house and a good school district. Then find your neighborhood pool. Join your neighborhood pool. Regardless of how good your kid is at swimming, they should swim summer league in their neighborhood with their friends from school[/quote]
