[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AU is absolutely freestyle and distance site. The top NCAP breaststrokers are currently in Virginia. Also draftee with distance free messing up breast. Many breaststrokers specialize in distance free as second event,  as they have excellent lungs (in breast you spend a lot of time underwater, basically). My son was always improving breast when training distance and vice versa. [/quote]

Ncap AU very underrated. Tim Kelly is not a self promoter but he gets results. His past swimmers have gone on to great success but ncap prep gets a lot more attention because they market themselves as the premier site. People often deceived by this [/quote]

How many ncap swimmers go on to swim in college? For those who don’t, or don’t want too, what motivates them to practice with such intensity throughout the year? Is the ultimate goal just to compete throughout high school and end their swimming careers? I’m not trying to be snarky. It’s just just a huge financial and time commitment and I’m trying to understand where the motivation comes from if you’re not a swimmer destined for college swimming. [/quote]

For the love of the sport and all that goes with it. All the reasons we have our kids in any sport, at any level. So basically, yes, to be the best HS athlete you can be as that fits with your other commitments and goals.

Realistic athletes and parents know a small number of athletes continue at the collegiate level, particularly Division 1. I can't speak directly to NCAP as my child is at another club, but at ours there are multiple levels of HS practice groups. Only one is geared to training towards national level competition and eventual collegiate swimming. Not all HS swimmers are swimming hours every day with the most intense practice group, there are options based on goals and ability. It takes a certain amount of love for swimming and intrinsic motivation to keep it up with social and academic pressures no matter the level. [/quote]
