Old national caliber swimmers that never come back
Former Member
Interesting and unfortunate that the vast majority of ex swimmers that made finals at NCAAs or Nationals when they were younger (or even just cuts) do not now participate in Masters Swimming. Only a small handful of these people come to Masters Nationals each year within each age group.
What a good opportunity USMS presents to see old faces and have a good time. I think USMS would benefit tremendously from their knowledge of the sport.

Well, that's good news that swimming is doing so well in North Carolina. But you must have noticed that many meet results still show a lagging enrollment in the younger ages there too.
Note for example the state meet results for NC for 2004. 10 and under boys have a poor showing in terms of numbers.
