Recruiting

I don't think it is bad if a person swam with a certain team and then moved for them to stay with their old team. Case in Point Karlyn Pipes Nielson swam for SDSM for a very long time but then moved to Hawaii but continues to swim for SDSM because she knows everyone and feels part of their team. However, I know SDSM recruits swimmers as far away as Canada and some have never even been to San Diego. All I can say to that is we(SSLM) tend to have more fun as a team since we know and train with all of our team members everyday. In the end, SDSM can have the records if they want them that bad. I was happy to see our team cheering behind the blocks on every swim because of the team connection. To me, fun and comraderie will always be more important and a reason to swim/coach than records.
