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

You have not only several indoor pools but several university pools, and you also have the King County Aquatics Center (2000 Olympic Diving Trials, Goodwill Games). In addition to that, there are a slew of athletic clubs and independantly owned public pools like Ruiz-Costie.
There's no trouble keeping pools open from what I can see. Maybe if only competitive masters swimmers were allowed membership (not doable) it would keep your numbers down of people in your lane.
I read somewhere that only 20% of masters swimmers actually compete. Please correct me because that sounds too low to believe.
