SPECIAL NOTEWhat Swimmers and Parents must know:
>12 swimmers were selected for the team didn‘t mean all 12 swimmers swam!>Being selected as one of the best 12 Jrs in your country is a great honor! >We can not be democratically social in the National Teams, that is for the clubs. >We have to have the best people swimming.>
