[quote=Anonymous]Yeah I think this is very team and area specific. I grew up in another state where summer swim is also a big thing. My team growing up was like the OP describes. We were a huge team, best in the league, lots of kids went on to swim in college. I still have a couple records there. A couple years after I graduated high school it seems like the team really went downhill and got a lot smaller. I think we even moved down into a lower division which is crazy considering how we dominated in the 90s. I think what happened is that there were just no young families moving into the neighborhoods that feed into the pool club. When I was a kid one of the main neighborhoods was on its second generation of families and then a few new construction neighborhoods were built nearby which brought more young families. I think that it has taken until now for there to be a new generation of young families, Basically people my age with kids now old enough to join the swim team, for the team to grow again. My parents still live in the home like Ru up in but a lot of people their age and a bit older have sold, opening up room for the young families. [/quote]
