Club swim or High school summer swim (Please read my situation)

I’m a freshman going into summer swimming and I have two choices between club swim and summer swim (right now i’m doing water polo).

Club swim PROS - I have a lot more friends - I’ve swam for the club for 9 years - Faster competition at practice and swim meets - There are swim meets - Harder and more practices

CONS - I recently moved up to the senior group last fall and my coach is an absolute dick. He’s a terrible coach and he yells at people for no reason. He doesn’t bother to help my technique and yells at people during practice to go faster without telling them how. He literally looks like phineas from “Phineas and ferb” - During fall season I only dropped .5 off my 100 back - Dryland only uses dumbbells because of covid restrictions

High school summer swim

PROS - My high school coach is really good. Over 20 years of experience and in duration of one high school season i dropped 5 seconds in my 100 back. She’s reasonable when she yells and I understand why. - I’ll probably go to the gym because there is no dryland. I labeled this as a pro because I can use all the equipment in the gym unlike club swim. - No doubles and dryland so I can work on eating right when i go to the gym. I labeled this as a pro because i’m very skinny right now - My coach will focus on my technique more - I have an insane crush on this girl on my high school swim team, I’m not sure if she’ll swim though - Since this is my high school coach she’ll train me for the next 3 years

CONS - Not as many friends - no double practices (listed both a pro and con) - probably easier practices since it’s summer swim - no swim meets

Please help me decide. Keep in mind i’m a pretty good swimmer so it matters that i improve. Some times (49 100 free, 54 100 back, 54 100 fly). I also want to get buff as well.
