I think it is worth increasing physical activities in schools, particularly swimming. It is very important for water safety. It is a good skill to have.
The only problem with recruiting very talented athletes at a very young age is that half our elite group started at level B. There are two levels in swimming: A and B. Our swimmers in the B category are not very strong when they start, but we train them. Now, our elite group is made up of 50% level A swimmers and 50% level B swimmers. The kids started at level B.
There is great merit in having a club with a culture and with coaches who have been there for a long time. It is never a problem to get more swimmers.
