Rumor has it that some teams were recruiting outside there LMSC for swimmers at nationals. What do you think of this.

Conniekat,
I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. This original post was about "recruiting" in an effort to form super relays. I was not talking about holding people off our team if they wanted to join and I take offense to the insinuation that we are being a clique(sp?). Anyone that wants to join our team can, but I am not actively "recruiting" for faster swimmers. I also never once stated that I thought rules of transfer were being violated. I also said I didn;t really care whether or not people did form super teams in order to break a record. I just stated that I was not going to do it, and that our team had a great time as a team at Nationals because we all trained together and knew each other. I think team comraderie(what you call cliquish) can be a more fun experience than breaking a relay record and that is why I do not recruit. If anyone wants to be on our team from out of town than they are interested in being part of our team and getting to know us not just breaking relay records.
