[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worst swimming experience ever so far.  Little Falls penguins[/quote]

Please explain?  We have considered joining that pool/team.[/quote]
Did they switch coaches recently? It's always been a bit of a clique-y pool.[/quote]

We're going to stay club members bc it's impossible to get in and we're giving up our spot. That being said, we dropped out of swim team and not a single person had checked on on us. My kid went every day for 3 weeks and they still didn't know the kids' names. 15 year old coaches positioned on either end of the pool and screaming at the kids to Swim! Swim! is not good coaching.

This is for nestling/pre team so if your kid can already swim and knows all The Strokes they'll probably be fine. I had gone on with the assumption that nestling's or pre team would help the kids join the team. But what appears to be untrained highschoolers teaching little kids is not the way.  My kid can swim, but doesn't respond well to being yelled at.[/quote]

Wow, we have not had that experience at Little Falls at all and have really enjoyed all levels of swim instruction.  Lots of kids are in and out all summer.  There are over 200 kids on the swim team so I highly doubt anyone would reach out if you didn't come to practice - they don't expect everyone to be at all practices.  If you really have an issue, maybe reach out to the reps or the head coach(es) to discuss rather than post on an anonymous forum.  [/quote]

I'm getting a tone from you that I should not be posting about my experience. Someone specifically asked for details so I gave them. The rep and head coaches DGAF so I'm not going to reach out to them. And, while I'm sure others have loved their expedited, many others feel the same way I do. [/quote]
