Nova in Irvine isn't too hard too understand. In the 1960's Long Beach Phillips 66 had a swimming site not just in Long Beach but also Huntington Beach. Putting a major swim club with some national level swimmers in Orange County California. Also, the Fast Team in Fullerton developed some national level swimmers in the 1970's. The team in Huntington Beach split up and Mission Viejo got of hold of National level swimmers like Shirley Bashashoff and national level swimming moved to the more less developed area of South Orange County. From then on, most of the top swimmers were situated in South Orange County with exceptions like Janet Evans. Irvine has their first olympian back in 1984 and pushes for a more national level team and Mission Viejo losses some of its drive.
