Our swimmers are 11-14. 2/3 are girls. They have strange new stuff happening to their bodies. Girls who have been competitive swimmers before they "became women" know without a doubt that they'll get their first period on the dawn of a championship meet and will have to quickly make friends with Mr. Tampax. Girls for whom competitive awimming is also new are apparently blissfully unaware that you cannot wear pads in the pool.
