Lemon squeezer,

I don’t understand the comment about all of the HS swimmers swimming HS and not being around to compete against. Most USS teams are year-round, while HS swimming lasts only through the season. At the conclusion of the high school season, most HS swimmers come back to swim USS. Are you registered with USS for the 2004/2005 year? If not, registration is coming up soon and I suggest that you sign up for the 2005/2006 season. USNA also wants to see initiative and self-determination. If you can’t compete in your age group, you can certainly help with the age-groupers and show some leadership on the team by being there early to set lane-lines and staying late to take down flags, etc. Become a role model. Good luck!
