Schlegel can't keep it up in A for long, I guess. [/quote] There's nothing to be studied. Their 13-14 Girls were unbeatable last year, but not so this year as they were swimming against some of the best in the area in Div A. One of their best female swimmers in 15-18 is not doing summer swim this year, another is injured after Week 2 and two of their best male swimmers are not swimming either this summer. More importantly, they have no depth in certain age groups. Nothing to do with coach Schlegel. [/quote] They recruited a bunch of kids and had some fleeting success. Those kids are not loyal like homegrown swimmers at neighborhood pools. This is karma for all of the recruiting. [/quote] All the swimmers mentioned above are homegrown kids, except for the girl injured who came from other country and started summer swim last year. Nice try though. [/quote] Homegrown by the coach and All Star Aquatics. Not homegrown to Avenel, Potomac Village or Oaklyn[/quote] Wow, seriously?? Those three who skipped this summer are NCAP swimmers. You are getting paranoid and that's not good for your mental health. Get a life.[/quote] I was going to say 2 of Potomac’s best female swimmers are from NCAP and they are actually moving out of state (I think that may be why the 15-18 girl did not swim this summer). People need to stop with the ridiculous conspiracy theories. [/quote] Agreed. It's that simple. If you're down 5 of your very top swimmers from one year to the next there is no accounting for that, and it certainly has nothing to do with coaching. If you've swum against Potomac, you can see how spirited and great the coaching is, and you know how good they are at their "full-time" jobs as club coaches as well, so there is no questioning the quality. The bottom line is, apparently three of their top swimmers did not swim this summer at all, and then two of their top females moved out of state right after the start of the season.[/quote] They swam relay carnival week 4 and Long Course week 5. They didn’t miss the whole season. They have huge roster turnover year to year because they are not a neighborhood team. People join for Chris because he’s a good coach and they like him, but they learn overtime it’s not worth commuting across the county to be on a team of ringers who don’t care about the logo on the cap. We are glad we stayed with our neighborhood pool instead of following to Potomac. We might never swim in Division A, B or C, but we have a true neighborhood team experience. Our roster is very consistent from year to year. [/quote] It’s an odd pool. All the kids in the neighborhoods around it swim for River Falls, which is just down the road. [/quote]
