[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in a higher level of juniors with RMSC. Think “select” or “Ndg”. He just started swimming competively last year and has moved up twice over the last 12 months.

The difference between the lower vs higher levels. The coaching style varies depending on the level. While the lower level coaches are encouraging, they also focus heavily on stroke mechanics. I often see the coaches speaking with individual swimmers to correct their stroke. The lower levels do tend to have larger groups, but perhaps it’s because they are only require 1~2 practices per week.

The higher level swimmers (advanced, select, NDG)  swimmers tend to have better stroke mechanics so the emphasis has been building endurance. When I sought out my child’s coach for private lessons, the coach instead pulled my child during practice to work on that specific concern. My child has been consistently dropping time, making JO, Zones, and NCSA cuts. I have no complaints.

Lower level groups have 3 practices a week requirement, you have no clue what you are writing about. [/quote]

+1, its very rare a child is pulled out in any of the RMSC at our center an stroke corrected. Advanced Juniors is a smaller group and usually the advanced kids get the better coaches.   Maybe a handful of times but usually its screaming at the side of the pool from a distance.  The lower levels - Mini's and Juniors have a 1 day a week requirement. Higer level groups may have more.  Think there should be a 3 day a week requirement as its not fair to hold a spot when there are kids who really want to be there.

Many of us do private for the stroke.[/quote]
