[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people I know whos kids swim for the in house St James team do it for convenience. they like that they can participate in 3 month increments vs committing to a full 9 months. However, I have not been impressed with any of the kid I have seen who swim there. Their technique is pretty bad. Not sure it that is because of poor coaching or because these kids just aren't that committed. [/quote]

For as small as their team might be they have a few kids that are the top swimmers in PVS at the championship meets. [/quote]
Why do people talk out of their @sses with stuff like this? There were a grand total of 2 St. James swimmers in the the 3 PVS champs meets this summer and neither of them made finals. They were better represented in the spring 14 and Under SC champs meet, 12 swimmers, but only 3 of them made any finals, none of them placed first, and it appears they have 2 female age groupers who are strong breaststrokers. That does not equal “top swimmers in PVS at the championship meets”.[/quote]

I think that if you look at NCAP and how large they are it makes sense how many swimmers they have at the top levels.  St. James is like a team of 250 or so.  It is really small.  The Marlins is like 400 some kids.  Size of the team matters.[/quote]

Marlins had 40 kids at 14 & Under champs in the spring vs The St James’ 12. They are less than double the size yet have over 3 times as many qualifiers so I’d say size doesn’t really matter.[/quote]
