    Originally posted by aquageek How in the world do you have separate sex swim seasons? I have never heard of this. So, the boys do SCY in the fall and the girls in the spring or some other oddity. How do year round teams do this if prepping for different meets? I've been in and around swim teams my whole life and never seen this but I'm sure it's done if you say so. Yes, it's done. Infact in NH, a town called Nashua swims in the MA league while the NH league swims coed. The Nahsua High School team swims girls in fall and boys in winter. It may have something to do with pool space being a preimum in town. The Nashua swimmers don't participate in the state championships, but rather the Mass confrences.
