[quote=Anonymous]So interesting to read all of these posts. I think it is pretty clear that there is variability within clubs (for coaching styles). It would be great if folks could "try out" programs to see if it fits their kid/s, but unfortunately in this area, swimming is really competitive and kids that are not elite will not be able to swap clubs as easily. FWIW (based on experience): Toll has history of being good with younger kids, though has some older kids - not tolerant of multi-sport kids (petty director), RMSC bit more factory like with younger kids (older too) but some real gem coaches exist across all ages (can be intense at some sites); NCAP - pretty racially limited club, though if fast and white/asian - might be a good fit. Also diversity among their sites re: coaching. ASA - gets a few +s/-s as well. Bottom line - if you are a serious swimmer, be prepared to work hard regardless of the club. If the coaching/environment is terrible, make a change. [/quote]
