[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing for the development of your swimmer is finding a coach that you work well with and a coach that has a great developmental plan for you.  Ncap and Rmsc have great coaches who can do this, but so do smaller and mid sized teams.  Torri Huske managed to do okay without training with ncap.  Too many parents obsess over the big clubs and feeling like their kid has to train with the fastest kids[/quote]

First off, AAC is a large (extra large club). It is not mid- nor small. Huske had a training cohort because there were national level male swimmers.  She also was extraordinary in her natural talent.  To the point that she was training less during covid (and spending little time in the pool compared to what one would train at that level) and still was able to excel. She is also unusual in that she stayed with the same club throughout her career. Huske is very much an outlier in her crazy ability, so much so there are articles about her in that she doesn't have the usual characteristics of a swimmer yet still kicks ass.[/quote]

Torri switched to NCAP for a second, but switched back. Also, she wasn’t on AAC’s radar until she went through puberty. She has discussed this in interviews. Missy Franklin also stayed put, when she easily could have moved since she was on the national radar at age 10. It happens when a coach and swimmer click. [/quote]
