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?
Another oddity in the Missouri rules is the prohibition preventing a high school coach from being the swimmer's year round USA-Swimming coach. This is in spite of their statement that they don't want two coaches having a conflict over one swimmer. If some only had one coach there wouldn't be a conflict. So to get around this problem, there are lots of games played about who is really coaching whom.
