I'll say one thing for this magazine, interspersed between all of the hero-worship articles are some that cover subjects with real meat. In the last few issues are articles about foreign swimmers with American college scholarships, the conflict between USS and high-school swimming, eating disorders among swimmers, and (the lack of) racial diversity in the sport.
These are real issues to the sport.
Wouldn't it be nice if this group discussed some of these?
Well if someone wants to get me going on the conflict between USA-S and high school, just let me know. For those who read the article, the unnamed high school swimmer who sued the state high school federation is my eldest daughter. We have our date with the Eastern District of the Missouri Appellate Court on February 20. We are keeping our fingers crossed but it won’t be easy. At least this time we get to argue before the panel. The last appeal in a case against the state high school association was dismissed before oral arguments. If you care to know the outcome (which could take 6 months), I would be glad to keep you informed.
