[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm actually kind of amazed at how un-diverse swimming is. Only sport I've seen this so far.[/quote] Hello, basketball? Or "undiverse" only goes one-way?[/quote] Very true. I think that it has more to do with SES than race or neighborhood (although those things are often intertwined). Parents who work multiple jobs or long hours to cover the basics are less likely to participate in things that require a lot of time or extra money.[/quote] Do you mean like in AAU basketball where the fees are [u]hundreds [/u]of dollars per season plus tournament fees?[/quote] THis is almost funny to me. Both of mine play competitive sports where the fees are thousands of dollars, per sport per kid per season. Plus equipment, tournament fees, travel costs, etc. I have no idea how people making a normal living have their kids playing. It's outrageous. [/quote]
