[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There must be some reason NVSL is one of the largest , oldest and most successful swim leagues in the country, with MCSL up there as well. It’s also probably not a coincidence that this area punches well above its weight in terms of producing high quality swimmers considering we are not in Florida or California. [/quote] Yes, the reason is called “segregation”. Private pools developed in the south as a result of white people wanting to keep their pools segregated. Wealthy, politically powerful, highly motivated white people poured money and time into their clubs and created one of the largest, most successful summer swim leagues that is still pretty minority free. I guess this is what we call success. [/quote] Then shouldn’t Deep South areas have many swim leagues as successful as this ?[/quote]
