[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RMSC is more competitive because there are less spots and more applicants.  RMSC is also more than half the price of NCAP.  We have year round swimmers from NCAP on our MCSL team that suck and they are paying the big bucks.  NCAP just wants your $$$. It’s not better. [/quote]

Except more broadly, outside your summer swim team, NCAP as a team is typically ranked higher in PVS than RMSC(based on swimmer's performance) so there's that.[/quote]

Not really. They are about the same. RMSC has slightly stronger boys and NCAP has slightly better girls, at the moment. But that ebbs and flows depending on swimmers in the group. RMSC is only located in Montgomery County, where NCAP has more locations but those are franchised so ymmv on the training.[/quote]

They are close and it does ebb and flow as you noted but if you follow it over time, it "ebbs and flows" in favor of NCAP more that RMSC.

Not sure what you are using to evaluate ranking but there are a lot of variables in play. It’s a stretch to say NCAP is better. 
Honestly, OP, it’s best to tryout and observe the practices and talk to people from your summer club. We’ve been very happy with RMSC. I know others that are happy at NCAP. My swimmers have fast and slow swim friends in both clubs. Individual coaches make the difference. Both clubs are large enough to compete at meets locally but are competitive enough to send swimmers to national meets.[/quote]

USA Swimming club excellence ratings:

These ratings are meaningless. NCAP had a few good swimmers including one coach’s daughter and another coach’s son that scored points at high level meets. And keep in mind RMSC doesn’t generally coach kids after they start college (albeit some return over the summer to train) so some of the higher level swimmers switch to NCAP.

That aside, at the day to day level, both clubs are comparable. It comes down to the site and the coach.[/quote]

RMSC does have a program for college swimmers.  There are definitely some college swimmers with RMSC this summer in my kids NTG group [/quote]
