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.
Gotcha. Most HS sports around here seem to take anybody on the Frosh squads...football most notably.
Not all HS swimmers are USS swimmers around here. In fact, the HS teams have actually provided our USS team with some additional swimmers. Once the HS season is over, they want to keep going and our USS team gives them that opportunity.
