[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: I don't know about clubs in your area but I can say this..go where is convenient and you and your child are happy. Even if that means staying put. Your kid is not going to the Olympics as a parking attendant much less a swimmer. Don't be a delusional parent.  Swim for the team that is fun and convenient and works with your other current and future plans.[/quote]

+1. Switch if it's harmful for your child - practices are too difficult, too much pressure, schedule is driving you crazy - but otherwise, convenience and comfort with the coaching should be top priority.

It's all so variable - a lot of posters in this forum complain about RMSC, but from what I've seen at meets, their coaches are some of the best at giving 10&U/8&U swimmers real-time feedback after their races. I'm in NoVA, where lots of people love Makos, but I didn't choose it for my DD because in her practice group, they pack 8+ kids/lane. My friend's DD had a terrible experience with York and is now loving Machine; I know people who have left Machine for Foxes, Foxes for NCAP, and NCAP for Marlins.[/quote]
