I also am looking for the best swim team for my daughter. The early discussion made me think a move to the RMSC Rays would be a good fit to boost her college resume and win championships. However, i talked with some local parents at her school. They say their kids were recruited to the Potomac Muscles swim team. While most of the people on the team have to drive a long way to get to the pool, apparently the coach puts a strong emphasis on IMX score. I think the muscles may be the better fit long term because of this. [/quote]

Ok, I think you’re asking about club swimming, RMSC (fyi, the Rays are a summer team) and the Potomac Marlins. RMSC, is a much larger club and the Rockville site is quite large, in particular. Unlike the other RMSC locations, it is managed by the city of Rockville so there are some slight differences. It’s not the strongest RMSC site but because it is linked to the larger RMSC club, you’ll have access to many of the bigger meets like NCSAs. How old is your swimmer and do they lean towards being a sprinter or distance?

I’m not very familiar with Potomac Marlins. I believe they are based out of Virginia, so either I’m thinking of the wrong club or like your post mentioned, you’re willing to commute.

Just a fair warning, as your swimmer approaches the upper levels of training, there are a LOT of practices. This involves a lot of driving early in the morning and late at night. Not great during the dark winter months. Just something to consider. You might want to aim for a location near your daughter’s school or near your house. RMSC also has locations in “North” Bethesda (KSAC), Germantown, Olney and Silver Spring). There are a ton of other high quality clubs in NOVA and MOCO. Most have a select/ntg group that produce fast swimmers. If you want, name the area you are near.

Finally, don’t focus on IMX scores. And if this is IMX dad or mom or a troll having fun with this thread, ya got me! 🤪[/quote]
