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.

The first time I saw redeye gravy was at a soul food restaurnat in DC. At fiorst I thought it was terrible, now I like it.
Dorothy is right, our Y in western Illinios is one pratice one game for six weeks.
However, I was wondering if USMS or other swimmign orgnizations have actually developed any type of plan to keep kids swimming? I know, I never got anything. In Western Australia, swsimming is one of the most poplular sports. Lots of kids participate. They give out bags, what is done here? Has any club coem up with something in ht euS that works to keep the kids onthe team?
