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.

:2cents: I would send a note to the head coaches and board presidents of some of the larger clubs, and you will likely get a fast response, since they track these stats quite closely.
