Dynamo

What USA Swimming club owns the most training space? According to their site, it's Dynamo.

They've got a lot of info on their site and it's pretty easy to navigate.

Check it out here.

Although tech suits should no longer be an issue, I love what they told their parents and swimmers:

We are serious about eliminating monetary roadblocks to athletes competing in our sport. The advantage we are interested in exploiting is the one that states you belong to Dynamo, and are surrounded by a great group of coaches and teammates, and we will out technique and out-work our opponents.

Congress made Title IX law more than 37 years ago. A lot has changed for men and women on campus since 1972. Most colleges are worrying about how to attract and retain more male students, not the other way around. The law was meant to ensure fairness for both sexes, and that is not what is happening.
