Lost in all the hullabaloo over swimsuits comes this announcement from the WIAA: girls and boys swim seasons will stay where they are -- girls in the fall, boys in the winter. A year ago, the WIAA appeared poised to switch the seasons, following a lawsuit over the placement of a number of girls and boys seasons in Michigan.
But WIAA assistant director Tom Shafranski, in his video presentation (available on WIAATV.com) on the upcoming swim seasons, said the WIAA's Board of Control has decided to keep the current swim seasons in place. One factor cited by Shafranski: the lack of support for the idea among high school swim coaches. WISCA, the state association for swim coaches, played a key role in surveying its membership on the idea of switching seasons, and few reported that they favored the move.
