Questions for High School Coaches*

via Pinterest

Annie Chandler Grevers posted the follerin' on Facebook this morning:


Hi coaches! Seeking some 1-2 paragraph answers to the following question for an upcoming issue of Swimming World. 

Should high school swimmers be required to attend more high school workouts than club workouts during HS season? Why or why not? 

If you have insight to offer, I'd love to hear it. I know answers will vary widely as high school swimming structures vary widely from state to state. 

Please email your answer and a high-rez headshot to annieg@swimmingworld.com

Thanks in advanced!

by denouncing others as "racists".
