[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only impression of DR is randomly being at Metro Swim one day in early summer and overhearing that their team suit options (for girls) were either Jolyns or Aquablades. Jolyn for the older girls I can understand, but your 8&U does not need an Aquablade for her handful of B-meets...:P[/quote]

Your ignorance is embarrassing. Aquablades aren’t tech suits - they’re just a regular Speedo model that lots of teams use: https://us.speedo.com/aquablade.list[/quote]

Your ignorance is ridiculous and I am not PP from Metro Swim.  Aquablades are a performance suit that are approved for 12&U.  They are expensive too.  Kids will wear them when they are not wearing tech suits.  The suit is supposed to channel and repel water.  It is a ridiculous choice for a summer rec league - for price alone.  If DR could get everyone in a $400 tech suit I am sure that they would.  But, not just DR.  All of them.  There are teams that collect club swimmers gently used tech suits so the non-club swimmers will be able to swim in the dual meet in a tech suit.

That is not summer league.   It is ridiculous. [b] Fox Hunt will have 25 kids in tech suits for a Saturday morning.[/b]  WHY?  No kid is going to college on NVSL times.  It is crazy.[/quote]

For real? why is it that the teams that come from lower divisions and have moved up fast are always INSANE!  [/quote]

Someone is still struggling to cope with their loss to fox hunt. I don’t recall seeing this at all when we swam against them. Their 15-18 groups didn’t have very many club swimmers and those groups were definitely weaker than the rest of the team.

Or the pp must be thinking of another team. [/quote]

We swam against them last summer.  We were not even a threat to them.  I think we counted 20+ tech suits.  The reps said they were going for records.  They didn't tell our rep either in advance.  So apparently half of the team at that A meet was going for a record  (I think two happened).  We found it to be crazy.

No need for bitterness.  Their fast rise could be because of their coach, who has moved on.[/quote]

Their head coach is also the head coach of the Capitol Sea Devils South Run site. He played favorites with the kids who also swam for Fox Hunt. Multiple 12U kids on Sea Devils switched to NCAP Burke or other teams this year. [/quote]

Know nothing about favoritism etc but 13&u kids moving from smaller teams to bigger teams is pretty much an annual tradition in this area. Some kids jump off the hamster wheel and go the opposite way too. The fact that most of the better Sea Devils swimmers at that site have stayed put probably means he’s been doing something right.
