Is the economic downturn affecting your club in any way, such as a decrease in participation, (or even increase if swimming is seen as a cheap pastime, like movie-going and rentals?) Is your club doing anything as a result, or is it preparing for a bad economy in any way? Any drop or increase in meet participation attributed to it?
Apparently things are getting even better in the masters swim market, at least in Arizona. We have two new teams starting up next week (one in the Phoenix area, the other in Tucson) and one old team is in the midst of re-forming. There is another team in Sierra Vista (south of Tucson) that is forming as well.
Generally the economy in AZ is in pretty bad shape due to the collapse of the real estate market. However, just in the past week or so we have new teams starting up. This is a pleasant surprise indeed, I hope it continues despite macroeconomic conditions.
