[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many top swimmers are at NCAP Burke?  You can't break out the swimmers by location.

Makos are at one location so that is a fair number of good swimmers swimming with one another.

The Silver I group next year will have about 6 swimmers who have achieved at least one AAAA time and multiple AAA times.

The 13-14 Makos girls and 13-14 NCAP-Burke girls are similar, but Makos has more AAA swimmers simply because it has more swimmers (since it is the only Makos site). The NCAP-Burke Silver 1 group typically only has 10-14 swimmers (3-4 per lane).

We swim summer league with and against NCAP-Burke and Makos swimmers, and this age group (and the 11-12 below) have elite swimmers at both clubs. They all seem nice, as do their parents. [/quote]
We have been at meets with Burke and I do not think there are that many swimmers who have achieved a AAAA time and will be in Silver 1 (which is 13-14 year olds) next season. They have a couple girls and 3-4 boys who will be 15 next year and are excellent (although not all have AAAA times). They do not currently have any 12 year old girls or boys with AAAA times. I know you are pumping up the Burke site but if you’re going to throw out stats at least make sure they are accurate.[/quote]

This is not scientific at all, as I only know the NCAP-Burke swimmers and the Makos girl swimmers with or against whom we have swum in summer (I do data, so I’m familiar with the kids, but I don’t know the Makos boys off hand). When you look at SwimIO for their names, it seems the poster’s statement that 6 swimmers “will have at least one AAAA time” by next Fall is reasonable. I didn’t narrow my search to right now, instead looking at historical data (which allowed me to look at 12 year old times for those who just turned 13).

From my quick glance, NCAP-Burke has a swimmer who will move up by next Fall, but currently has 1 AAAA time, along with two younger 13 yo swimmers who achieved AAAA times two months ago, but then turned 13, plus three swimmers who are 12 but will be 13 next Fall and have close-to AAAA times right now.

Makos girls (I don’t know the boys) are very very strong. Two Makos girls are newly 13 and have (or had at age 12) 9 and 6 AAA times respectively. It is reasonable that these two girls will easily achieve AAAA or better by age 14. Five other 13-14 Makos girls have or had multiple AAA times either at age 12 or at age 14.

Seems to me you just need to see what works best for you. [/quote]
