I have done some number crunching, and I have to say, we are missing the boat on this.<br /><br />In my slog, at swim-life.blogspot.com, I have a post "The Facts about Senior Swimming in America"...the thesis of which is that we are, through the progression of championship meets that we offer, primarily catering to the early bloomers...especially on the men's side.<br /><br />Having said that, I do think that "tech suits" are the devil. They pretty much create a divide between the haves and have nots in our sport. I don't think the suits do much for outreach in the sport. Please see "Why we don't need "Tech Suits" in Swimming" in my slog as well.Cliff Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718932132167392138noreply@blogger.com
