[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this thread as we are considering the two Gears programs at Machine Fairland.  Does anyone have feedback on those?

TIA![/quote]

Also wondering about this program at Dulles South, and what they’re asked to do in the evaluation?[/quote]

PP you're quoting - we had the eval at Fairland earlier this week.  It was low-key: they had the kids jump in a lane together (it was nearly twice as wide as a regular one) and do some swimming.  My DD said they told them to start first with free, then pick their second favorite stroke, then their third favorite stroke.  The coaches engaged with the kids so well.  Whole thing took 10-15 minutes, maybe?

They also asked their ages and birthdays.  They gave me the group recommendations while the kids were swimming and said the oldest could go with a more or less intensive group (on the fence between the two) and didn't push back at all when I said we preferred the less intensive, for multiple reasons.  Overall, it was a great experience.  FYI, they list the openings for each group at the different sites, which are updated in real-time.  While we haven't trained with them yet, so far I've been very impressed with every interaction I've had with different staff.  It's a huge improvement on some of the other programs we considered (Tollefson, JFD, SDS).[/quote]
