[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worst behaved swim team in the area but nice facilities.  If you want to do swim team though I would join Tuckahoe, Highlands, Kent Gardens, or McLean Swim and Tennis...all mich nicer environments for swimmers.[/quote]

What does worst behaved team mean?[/quote]

Some of the senior swimmers, who should be able to model good sportsmanship to the younger kids, do ostentatious things to dq when they have already won a meet. Some have broken into other swim facilities and vandalized the property, left dead animals on cars displaying rival team stickers, sh!t in other pools after hours to get it closed down, that sort of thing. They are the reason some other pools have installed security systems.

Not surprising when the team parents have been known to display a “championship table” laden with filled champagne glasses before a final season meet even starts. I’m sure the warm champagne goes down well on a hot summer day. [/quote]

Either you are aware of the actual facts and are purposefully misrepresenting things, or you have no idea what you are talking about.

For instance, at the last home meet, there are plastic champagne flutes filled with red gatorade (one of Chesterbrook's colors) for swimmers to toast the outgoing seniors.  No one drinks champagne.

[b]The team has changed a lot over the past ten years and now emphasizes sportsmanship and love of the sport.[/b]  In the past two years, they've sent kids to swim at Notre Dame, Boston College, NYU, Emory, UPenn, U Cincinnati, UNC Wilmington, and Loyola.  It's a fun, intense community.  The team wins a lot, and that can breed resentment, but if you are considering joining you should get the facts and not sour grapes and apocryphal nonsense.[/quote]

Maybe it will take a few years to filter down to the swimmers and the parents [/quote]
