[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Local Swim Coach here - in VA/MD/and DC swimmers train with their club team year round and compete on their high school team as well during the Winter Season (Nov-Feb). Club swimming is significantly more important in this area than HS swimming. In fact most swimmers don't even attend their HS swim practices (most schools have a policy that USS Swimmers attend 1 practice a week). I'd suggest checking out pvswim.org (our USA Swimming LSC) to find information about all of the USS teams in the area. On the PVS website you can also find the results to current (2015) and previous HS championship meet results to help give you a better idea of HS swimming in this area. Of the schools you mentioned, Robinson has historically had the strongest team. Their girls were third at States this year and their boys were second. [/quote]

Local Swim Coach. This setup is what is turning us off from encouraging our kids to go into swimming as a main sport. They love to swim, but being on a team that isn't really a team defeats the purpose of having a team at all. In addition, the local clubs seem to have no spirit behind them. The only spirit and bonding we've seen is at the local summer swim clubs. Overall I'm not impressed with the year round swim atmosphere although in the summer it's terrific to have so many children of different sexes and ages together.[/quote]
