I'd appreciate input from anyone who is engaged with large USAS clubs (e.g., 300+ swimmers) and might be able to share some stats. I'm trying to capture data like the following:
Total number of swimmers
Group level numbers (e.g., entry level group up to national level group)
# swimmers per group
Coach to swimmer ratio (in particular, how this varies from entry level to age group elite to national level)
Then, ideally, some measures of performance like
# of Trials qualifiers
# of National qualifiers
# of USAS Junior National Qualifiers
# of Sectional qualifiers
# of “age group championship” qualifiers, such as
State Championships
Next level / "fast" age group meet (e.g., a lot of Arizona kids consider Far Westerns to be that first "regional" level competition)
I'd love particularly to hear from clubs that both aspire to produce national caliber swimmers AND to provide competitive swimming options for all levels.
Feel free to PM me or respond here. Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow. I'd love to answer but my team is spread out over 3 states so it's hard to know exactly.
I know we have over 1600 swimmers (600 are part of my group). We are maxed out with swimmers at this point.
There are 40 kids in the Senior Prep/Elite program at my facility. Probably close to 150 for all the facilities.
Right now we have 15 qualified for Trials (2 are from my group). Four went to Nationals over the summer, at least 12 went to Super Sectionals. Our first big meet is Tom Dolan Invitational in Dec. That's the first one we taper for and send most of our kids to.
