Can it grow in this state?

 

Is there any programs east of Lexington?

I believe Ashland and Rowan County have decent teams.

GRC has started one. We have a diver that is going to UK on scholly this fall.

 

Here is the thread on him.

Nice to see a swimming thread for a change! Here in NKy there is only one high school in the whole region that has its own pool and all of the meets are held there. All of meets are dominated by swimmers from USA Swimming member clubs. Thay don't even practice with their high school teams, but are allowed to swim in the meets! Could you imagine that in any other HS sport!

Gee, I guess Richard Dickmann will be surprised by your comment!

Dry land practice is on the school campus on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 3:00 PM. Diving practices are usually two days per week at Northern Kentucky University. Swim and Dive meets are typically on Wednesdays or weekends. Those participating in fall sports are welcome to join the team up until the end of the second week after completion of their fall sport.

Cov Cath has an unusually strong boy's swim team. I believe they get a lot of participation because Cov Cath does not offer wrestling. In most programs, swimming is female dominated because the only winter alternative is basketball.

I would venture a guess that the better Cov. Cath swimmers (like all KY high schools) swim with their club team and not with their high school team. High school practices in KY are for those kids who don't swim club.

The ranks may shrink by one if Nelson County can't track down a coach. It's unlikely new Thomas Nelson will have a team.

That means more room in the pool for the rest of the team! We had our first experience last season with NKY high school swimming. It was great! The kids worked hard, cheered each other on to their individual pr's, and bonded as a team. The shared pool time means that kids are practicing with other high schools, and then competing against them, so they get to know lots of other kids from NKY, too. It's a great winter sport option.

They had a team?

When i swam in high school, our club swimmers NEVER came to our practices... i hated it because it took away from the team. these nobodies came in, wearing your team suit and team name, took awards, and you had no idea who they were. but that's how all teams are in nky.

I assume you went to Campbell County. You're saying you had no idea who these top swimmers were? Come on.

Clyde, that is just the way it is in swimming. Club swimmers are typically only required to attend a few practices a year with the team and they get full privileges in the competitions. It is not unusual for High School swimmers not to know their club swimmer team mates.

A few years ago I was told that swimmers at NDA were required to swim on a club team and that's where each swimmer practiced.
