[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make a realistic assessment of your kids times. No rose colored glasses. Yes, coaching makes a difference, but no coach turns water in to wine. Natural talent is the driving factor, especially after years of club swimming. Is your kid a real, *real* D1 prospect? If no, and $510/mo is a strain, do something else. [/quote] I would agree with this, why are you pushing a kid to compete (and pay) at this level when they have no interest swimming D1 or at a National Level. And it is not meant to be mean. You can easily swim at the Marlins or some other cheaper club and get the same results. If your kid has talent, drive and a passion for swim (and I have been in this world for 15 years and that is a rare thing) then NCAP or Machine would be the right call. But usually it is the parents driving the bus on this, and it never ends well. When your kid is 16 and says I am done. You have to let them be done.[/quote]
