[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point of club swimming if what everyone is saying is true that the coaches don't actually correct their stroke mistakes? I'm considering signing up my 8 year old. It seems like everyone else on her summer team does it and if I don't sign her up next year she'll be behind.[/quote]

There will be some correction, but it will vary by team, practice group, and coach.  Really detailed stroke work is something that you have to seek out.  Private lessons are always easiest to come by with your summer team at your summer pool, so that is a great time to dig in a little more deeply.[/quote]

I was the PP that had a good experience with Mach at Audrey Moore; it was hands on with 2 coaches in the water and this was the case when they moved to the first age group tier (but 1 coach in the water sometimes but not all the time depending on what they were working on). A different poster didn’t have a good experience with Mach. Both can be true. With club swimming you will find differences across clubs and within club sites.

Now that my kids are older and still in club and talking to other parents of different club swimmers, it can be hard to generalize. If you’re looking for options best to talk to the current staff or find parents of current stroke mechanics swimmers to talk to. Good luck!
