[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - thank you all for the feedback. Her current team is large, but not nearly as large as NCAP. We will be visiting a few times this summer to house hunt so I will look into having her drop into a few practices. It sounds like NCAP and Machine are better bets for a training cohort. I looked at times for York and there are not many strong swimmers her age. [/quote]
Yes, I wouldn’t steer a 13-14 swimmer with those times in the direction of York. Another poster made a good point that you might want to start making inquiries because the registration for new families starts in a month. A club is generally going to always find room for a fast swimmer but I wouldn’t wait until say the end of July when most of the available slots have been taken. About NCAPs size, the overall size of the club only really matters with things like relays and selection for some of the training trips they offer. If your swimmer is used to being on every relay at their current club, it might be a bit of a shock how competitive it is to be on an NCAP relay. It seems like every age for the girls has swimmers that have a solid lock on relay slots (particularly the medley) when they are at the top of the age group. But the day to day experience isn’t impacted the overall size of the club. [/quote]
