We did too!  We have a very happy kid![/quote]

8U????   :shock:

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]

You just don’t get it.  Technique is important.  My kid does not compete and does it for fun and exercise.  But, rmsc does not work on technique.  [/quote]

I’m sorry your coach doesn’t, but our swimmers’ coaches absolutely work on technique.[/quote]

As for the first PP who apparently doesn't get it - I absolutely get it.  If you want to pretend that burnout among young athletes isn't a thing, you do you.  I know far too many kids who developed shoulder injuries before they became teens, got fed up and exhausted with the early mornings, etc.  All started club swimming 8&U.  The idea that you need to start that young to ever be successful isn't true.  There are tradeoffs that come with starting at different ages and choosing one program over another, for sure.  But thinking there's one path to success is garbage.[/quote]
