Even for Freshman?
I really can't speak for all freshmen. The freshman I know on the Freshman Teams are/were travel players. I was really referring to the varsity level though. No way do you make varsity without being on a travel squad. For swimming, there's only varsity. No non-USS swimmers are on any high school teams that I know of. Only sport I know of that is happens is cross country and track where there are just regular youth teams. I just watched my freshman son run his first varsity 2 mile race on the track. :groovy: Only "technology" involved was a $48 pair of spikes. Last year, I paid a total of $180 to sign him up for youth cross country and track. That's dirt cheap.
