[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teen DC has joined the high school swim team, loves it.  They are now thinking about joining summer swim team but are convinced that club swimming is not an option.  Are there less competitive clubs in close-in Montgomery County MD that would welcome/accommodate a new to competitive swimming teen?[/quote]
Glad your kid is having a good HS experience.  Mine quit MCPS HS even though they are a pretty good club swimmer.  The coach was horrible and the RMSC kids were constantly bragging about their times.  [/quote]

Interesting- in our division, most of the top rmsc (and other club) swimmers aren’t really trying until either metros or states. As a parent that volunteers at almost every high school meet, I rarely, if ever, see any club swimmers bragging about times. What high school does your child attend?[/quote]
Don't feel comfortable saying the school.  Your reply touches on the vibe though. [b] These kids can easily go way faster without even trying![/b] HS team is mostly RMSC swimmers, cliquey and made the whole thing a miserable experience. Obviously these serious club swimmers are working really hard and good for them but unfortunately made it no fun for anyone else. [/quote]

you really don't want to race hard all the time - it's about scoring points and many swimmers have to swim multiple events[/quote]
