For real. If this thread doesn’t give Tiger mom vibes, nothing will. Like who gives a crap [/quote]

Because people want to know the results of tryouts that were over a week ago?   :roll: [/quote]

It's perfectly reasonable to want results of tryouts in a timely manner.

It's also slightly batsh*t to send your 8&U to RMSC, given how poor their reputation is for stroke coaching.[/quote]

If you want  your kid to be competitive you pay for private lessons.[/quote]

RMSC + private lessons for an 8&U is really a lot.  Are you trying to burn your kid out?[/quote]

Sigh - they just don't get it - it is so sad [/quote]
My kid turned 8 during Covid so she didn’t have the chance to do 8U and joined a club at 9. Based on our experience, I would say that an 8 year old should do one of the club’s developmental programs before trying to join the competition team. There are some NCAP sites that have either a developmental program or a competition level that is geared toward the 8U set where they just do mini meets; and Tollefson has a developmental stroke school as well. My kid at 9 was a good athlete with summer swim experience so did ok, but she lucked out and got a coach after a few months that did real stroke work and by the end of the SC season she was close to JO cuts as an older 9 year old and qualified for the LC champs as a new 10 year old. She would not have done near as well without the proper stroke coaching. [/quote]

I hope they continue to like swimming.  My college swimmer did not swim year round until he was in 6th grade. [/quote]
