[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of two minis here, and my third will be trying out on the 15th.  Its definitely competitive, but the younger you are, the lower the requirements, so better to try out early.  Mine have all had a lot of success with the Stroke and Turn and SwimMontgomery programs as sort of a pre-team prep program the year before we tried out. Both these development programs have no competitions, but they get a lot of stroke development and reps in the pool so that RMSC is not a hugely different experience from what they're used to.

Good Luck! [/quote
Thanks for this. What were the differences between stroke and turn and swimontgomery? Did you do both at the same time?[/quote]

Both of these programs are run at all the RMCS sites, I only have personal experience at MLK, but I'm sure they're all comparable.
Stroke & Turn is a Sept - May program, every Sunday evening at either 5,6 or 7.  They do fill, so look for when registration opens to get into the slot you want.   This is an excellent low commitment, once a week program that keeps your swimmer in the water all year.  For the littlest swimmers, there is often a coach in the water with them to work on strokes.
SwimMontgomery has I believe 4? 8 week long sessions.  This one differs by site, but its twice a week, Mondays & Wednesday at MLK.  A bit more intense of a workout than Stroke & Turn, and has some excellent coaching.  
You can do one program or both, depending on how much time you want to spend at the pool.  What we did was S & T all year, then added the spring session of SwimMontgomery to get pumped up for summer swim.  SwimMontgomery also fills superfast, so be prepared to logon to ActiveMontgomery early to register.
