Are the elite swimmers already contacting other teams?

Looking at the Spring/Summer schedule, if swimmers from other sites are interested in transferring to Rockville, they have to contact the coach. There is a spring tryout, but did not say anything about asking other RMSC swimmers to register for tryout.

MC isn't too bad if it's Rockville campus, its next to RMSC Rockville. City of Gaithersbug would be nightmare for commute though.

We have been seeking pool space throughout the County to host the KSAC RMSC team during the closure. We have promising options at the JCC, Old Farm Outdoor Pool and City of Gaithersburg. We have also contacted Montgomery College in Rockville.

In its commitment to continue the KSAC RMSC team during the closure, the county has installed a heater at the Wheaton Glenmont Outdoor Pool (WGOP). We are also working with DGS to have the bathhouse weatherized. Our goal is to use WGOP later into the year and earlier in the spring than we would typically be able to. We may also be able to provide limited space at the new Silver Spring Recreation and Aquatic Center once it opens. Unfortunately, using the facility has a number of barriers including parking for coaches or participants and the lack of early morning extended hours.


JCC, Montgomery College, or City of Gaithersburg would not be bad location wise. Where is Old Farm Outdoor Pool?

Do you think the KSAC swimmers would transfer to other RMSC sites?


I emailed and asked and didn't get a response. I would assume you'd have to try out and there would have to be space.

City of Gaithersburg or MC would be a nightmare downcountry. Not sure how we'd make it work.

It depends. We wouldn't due to cost and we finally have great coaches. They promised silver spring and its not right they are changing it.

Old Farm is off Montrose Road so pretty close. Some will try to transfer sites, but they all can’t be accommodated that way obviously.

Originally the plan was to move them to Wheaton in the summer and Silver Spring in the winter but now they are saying they are looking at other locations and some would be a nightmare. Waiting to hear.
