I was reading the Western Australia's e-newsletter. They give all 12yr olds and under a backpack whenthe kid joins a team. It had soemstuff in it. This woudl be a great way to encourage kids here in the states. Has USMS or USA Swimmign ever done anyhting like this?
I know here it is really hard to get kids to stay through the season. ASlso, as soon as the Y's basketball season starts, many leave. It is weird becasue the Y runs both programs. Therefore, they don't lose out.

Right, but even at the "entry" level for our YMCA swim team, the kids practice 3-5x/week and train several weeks between meets. They may not see results for months, consequently other sports look more attractive.
Listen, Geek, I know where you live. Don't make me come over there.
