[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding that at the HS level there are major differences between locations and it's not uncommon for kids to move to a new location depending on what their stroke and training preferences are.  I wouldn't worry about that at your young age, but if folks are approaching HS age--do your homework.  For instance, we've seen multiple breastrokers join the GPrep site, only to move elsewhere within a year or two.  At the elite level, GPrep is all about distance free style, 400 IM, and tons of yardage. This type of training  can "break breastroke" technique.  Stroke specialists seem to prefer the AU site.[/quote]

Your mixing things up with prep. Yuri, Rick Meghan were the 4IM mindset. It does work but it’s not for every swimmer.

Bruce is all about distance free. That’s at least what he claims he’s the guru for. He only caters to the lane leaders. If you aren’t a lane leader you will miss the interval and swim continuously and he’s fine with that. Only the top kids will get him accolades so the others might as well not exist to him[/quote]

Got it.  I just heard from a friend that this site is a TOTAL MESS RIGHT NOW.   They've lost a coach (Sue) and virtually all their male swimmers who swam in Bruce's group.  May shake out and be fine by the Fall.  But anyone looking for a new HS level spot, should stay away from GP site until things are resolved.[/quote]

Yes. Major attrition on women’s side also. [/quote]

This is not true. They have not lost a coach. [/quote]

You are out of the loop.  Sue Chen has resigned. [/quote]

Where is she going?[/quote]

Yes, where is she going? She started at RMSC, did a brief stint at Machine before jumping ship to NCAP. There aren't many other teams left for someone like her... [/quote]
