As I gather you’ve figured out, swimming really IS that popular in certain regions, states, cities, towns and on down to households. The same could be said for any other sport.

However, you can still talk about what it has meant for you to be a swimmer in a state that doesn’t have as many opportunities as you would like, or to be focused long-term on an activity that not many folks in your area care as much about.

It isn’t the fact that you’re a swimmer from NH that will make you stand out in the eyes of the AdComs, but what swimming (or whatever) has meant to you that may distinguish you from the masses. (I’m assuming from what you said that you’re beginning the application process - is that right?)
