[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s like tennis. There may technically be a tennis team, and sometimes they play in doubles, and they practice together, but they don’t need the team in order to function as a competitive tennis player. It’s not the same as soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, etc., where you need to play with a team to play the sport at all.[/quote] In swimming, your individual scores add up to a win/lose for the team you're on. Yes, you get your own individual times, too, but it's the collective performance of everyone on the team that amounts to a win. There are gifted athletes on Football teams that might be real standouts - maybe they run in the most touchdowns in a game. But they will not win the game all by themselves.[/quote]
