[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2-3x is a bit of an exaggeration. Nothing outside of county subsidized programs are that much cheaper.

Most people choose their club based on practice schedules and location. If a less expensive one works for you then go for it. I do think you get what you pay for in terms of coaching, practice schedule, club organization, and meets attended. [/quote]

My kids are with Machine, which we chose after extensively researching all the options in our area (Maryland, so this included NCAP, TOLL, RMSC, JFD).  With Machine, all three of my kids could swim at the same time - which is *huge*.  RMSC was the only significantly cheaper option and none of the other clubs afforded the chance for all three to have the same practice schedule.  Even when my oldest moved up, her group maintained the same times, just more days a week.

We're also very, very happy with the coaching at Machine.  There are always multiple coaches on deck during practice and at meets.  At the latter, they support the kids well, even the coaches who don't regularly work with our kids.  The communication is excellent.  There are multiple options for intensity within different age groups and zero pressure for our kids to care about swimming more than they do.  If a club with outstanding coaching and the same practice times at less money had been available, we probably would have taken it.  But they weren't (and aren't), so we didn't.[/quote]
