[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But I’d assume most families picked a location for a reason.  How many are going to be happy or willing to do a longer commute?  Why move the Gold 2 group from Marymount to Tysons if Tysons is full?  Doesn’t make sense.  I can’t imagine families are happy about this.[/quote]

Current groups at Tysons are full but Tyson’s doesn’t currently have a Gold 2 - this adds a new group.

The sites are 15 min apart. [/quote]

Right.  But now Marymount won’t have a Gold 2 group and Tysons won’t have a Gold 1 group.  And with lights and traffic they are much more than 15 minutes apart.  Marymount parents and swimmers won’t be happy with this new arrangement and their 13-14 year olds are fast.[/quote]
Those super fast 13-14 Marymount swimmers probably won’t see Gold 2, so it really won’t impact them. It will impact the fastest Tyson’s kids who now have to trek to Marymount. [/quote]

So are you saying Gold 2 at Tysons will be a dumping ground for kids not fast enough yet for Gold 1?[/quote]
Are you new to NCAP, that’s what all the Gold 2 programs are. [/quote]

For 13-14 year olds??? Yeah that does surprise me actually.  I thought the Gold 1 program was for the fastest high school students not middle schoolers.[/quote]
Silver 1 at Marymount goes up to age 15, and swimmers can go to Gold 1 once they start HS (age 14). The fastest kids will be in Silver 1 and go directly to Gold 1 once eligible. It is structured like this at other NCAP sites as well. It sounds like they are going to run this somewhat similar to how West is run. Multiple practice sites with the fastest swimmers funneling into one group eventually. Although at West that combining starts at age 13 in their Silver group, a level before Gold 1.[/quote]
