[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our hoa, little rocky run, has 2800 households with automatic number of pool memberships. If it was just about numbers, we would be competitive in D1. [/quote]

that gets to a fundamental difference between a place like Overlee. At LRR, you are automatically in whether you really care or not, and whether or not you have young children.  At Overlee, you had to get on their waitlist before your kid was born.

I do also find it odd, that looking at a map of NVSL pools (https://www.mynvsl.com/file/31348/NVSL_Map_of_102_Teams_updated_pdf)  , all D1 teams are clustered together in the North Arlington/Falls Church/Mclean area. [/quote]

That's where all the dishonest lobbyist and BigLaw types can afford to live.[/quote]

It makes sense that the wealthiest regions have the best teams. Better coaching, more parental time/money for private coaching, higher likelihood that kids are swimming for a year round club or getting year round swim instruction, higher likelihood that younger kids have been in swim lessons since they were babies, history of success puts more pressure for families with young kids to get year round swim instruction so they have an advantage when they start competing.

Remarkably happy that our team (GFS&T), also in “one of the wealthiest regions,” largely avoids this nonsense and is quite happy bouncing around the middle divisions. Our kids are there to have fun — and we aim to have just as much fun on Monday evenings as on on Saturday mornings. Do many of our kids swim year round? Yes. Do we measure our kids’ success on how they swim on a few summer weekends? No. [/quote]
