[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following this conversation out of curiosity. My children swim in NoVA, so I know very little about RMSC. I keep seeing people referencing private clubs versus RMSC, which has me confused. (While many clubs lease space from public rec centers, I am unaware of any public clubs in NoVA.) Is RMSC a county-run program? How does that work? [/quote]

RMSC is a private "non-profit" but they have collaboration with the county and get the [b]use of the pools for free[/b]/dominate the county indoor pools.  (Summer leagues are run by the county).  For the city of Rockville location, it's a collaboration between the county and city so they get even more discounted rates but it's the hardest one to get into.  They are cheaper than private clubs that have to rent space, some groups are much cheaper, some not.  A few years ago they raised the rates a lot, which made no sense when they are getting the pool time for free.  They claimed it was for salaries but some groups have 50-60 kids and 2-4 coaches (a few coaches talked about here as bad are the groups with fewer coaches as no one wants to work with them).

Montgomery County does now allow private swim teams to rent from the county and they have to use/rent private pools through JCC, HOA's, private pools, and some of the private schools that have pools, which makes it much more expensive.

That's factually inaccurate.
