How does machine compare to fish [/quote]
When you say “hands on” do you mean a coach actually in the water with the swimmers? If that is the case, you are not going to get that at a club. [/quote]

The coaches are in the water with the kids at Mini FISH. FISH offers Minis a 3rd practice where the coaches are on deck vs in the water to get them used to AG practices. At 8/9, most kids at FISH are moving up to Age Group practices and coaches are not in the water. Stroke corrections will occur, but they will happen from the deck. Most 8/9 year olds at most clubs will be moving to Age Group and it would be the exception—not the rule—for a coach to provide in-water stroke corrections.

The Machine Stroke Mechanics program, as I understand it, is more of a pre-team or supplemental program and therefore not an apples-to-apples comparison to an Age Group practice. Not sure if it’s even comparable to Mini FISH because Minis attend meets.

Regardless of what club you pick, it’s a good idea to grab individual lessons from a coach on your summer team to focus on stroke. [/quote]
