Recruiting

Connie, Wasn't the pool you train at once a privately owned pool by the Mission Viejo Community? When they couldn't pay the bills it was bought by the city and rented to the teams that train there. So, by the definition of a business should charge what it needs to in order to stay in business, your club failed. Imagine how much more difficult it is to build and keep open facilities in areas where you can't swim outside all year. Swimming becomes a much more expensive sport to afford in colder areas. That being said, I do agree with Connie that we need to grow our sport. By growth, we will have greater demand for facilities. The more tax payers that want swimming will have a greater chance of opening new facilities and keeping older ones open. Impressive topic slide for a thread that started with a discussion of relay swimmers.
