[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been super helpful. My DD (8) made it on the DC Wave age group one but has also been recommended for machine. Machine is a lot more expensive but it’s not out of reach. Wondering if it’s worth doing Dc wave for a bit and then machine or going straight for machine! I just hear incredible things about the coaching at machine. [/quote] I’m the PP with a summer machine coach who dies a different club at Fairland. The Machine coach also “ wanted” my kid. Another PP is right, they want your money, they’re running a business. It’s like private schools. They’re businesses. I’m not trying to be a jerk but then “ wanting” your kid doesn’t mean much. [/quote]

But clubs also want kids of caliber since their program/standings is based on how the kids do. They get ranked by virtual standings, etc.[/quote]

They pretty much want your kid no matter what. When they do their assessments, they are not trying to see if you “make the team”. They just want to see which group to put you in. Of course they want fast swimmers, but they want slow swimmers too. They just won’t focus too much on the slow swimmers. [/quote]

Does this mean not many kids try out for them? Otherwise, they can’t take everyone.[/quote]

NP, I just signed up with machine as well based on a recommendation from a senior swimmer in our summer team. They are pretty big and have many different options and slots. I chose it because the swimmer on our team has excellent form and that’s what I was looking for my DS, to improve his stroke while building endurance. Just because they still have openings, doesn’t necessarily mean they have weak swimmers.[/quote]
