[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing for the development of your swimmer is finding a coach that you work well with and a coach that has a great developmental plan for you.  Ncap and Rmsc have great coaches who can do this, but so do smaller and mid sized teams.  Torri Huske managed to do okay without training with ncap.  Too many parents obsess over the big clubs and feeling like their kid has to train with the fastest kids[/quote]
Torri Huske is an Olympic gold medalist. She is not the average high-level swimmer. Her talent level is so off the charts that it wouldn’t have mattered where she trained, and that is not a knock against AAC. For your “normal” talented kids whose goals are not as lofty as an Olympic gold medal, things like training cohorts do make a difference. Swimmers can generally only train to the level of the swimmers around them when they are not being coached individually. If you are training at a club where you are doing sets that are different than the other swimmers in your training group because you are that much faster, there comes a point where you wonder if you wouldn’t be better off at a club with multiple swimmers at your level to train with and feed off of.
