<p>Can anybody give me more information about the girls sports teams at Andover, Deerfield and Exeter. Specifically the swim and bike teams. I can get a little information from their websites, but becasue these arent the most popular sports, there's very little about them.
Also, are there very many international students on any of the teams?</p>
<p>Email the coaches.</p>

<p>None of the schools, as they are in NEPSAC, are bound by restricting coaches from contacting admitted student-athletes. For example, the MIAA is an association restricting the said contact, but you are free to talk to them. I don’t know about your second question though.</p>
<p>thanks a lot, but i’m applying this year, so I was looking for information to see if its worth applying to these schools, I dont really think the coaches would give me an unbiased view</p>
<p>exeter’s girls’ swim team placed first at new england championships this year! as for cycling, i think that if they win this year’s new england championships it’ll have been their ninth year as consecutive champs.</p>
<p>If you go to to Exeter’s Team Pages on the website, you’ll see a roster of members, including their hometowns.</p>
<p>do teams train all year round?</p>
<p>There are fall, winter, and spring sports; you’d swim in the winter and do cycling in the spring, and in the fall either do another sport like water polo or volleyball or cross country or (at a school like Exeter) choose a club sport or other physical activity. So I guess you’re cross training all year, but not with the same team.</p>
<p>thanks, isnt it really hard to get back into training if you havent done the sport for about half a year though?</p>
<p>I don’t know…my husband’s a coach, and he thinks that it’s best for young athletes to do different sports in the off-season. He thinks (a) it’s less taxing on developing bodies and (b) the more time at the starting line, learning to get through the psychological jitters of competing, the better.</p>
<p>That said, my kids do summer training in their sports to keep up their technical skill. And some off-season training when they can fit it in. But I think the main thing is to stay active and fit.</p>
<p>that will be different from what i do know (8 hours of swimming a week, all year round and fitting my other sports around it)</p>
<p>and i would love to do waterpolo, but I’ve only had time to play it every so often. would i still get accepted into the team?</p>
<p>It’s my sense that lots of kids who are strong swimmers go out for water polo without previous experience and make the team. Crew is another good sport for swimmers, though that’s the same season as cycling.</p>
<p>bump 
anyone?</p>
