Well, summer league swimming would be a local community organization and this is kind of a beginners level of introducing kids to competitive swimming whereas United State Swimming or the Olympics is 12 months out of the year. Summer league maybe two to two and a half months during the summer and we have a lot of younger swimmers that are learning the competitive side of the sport for the first time. The training isn't as hard because we don't want to scare kids away, because we want them to make sure they're having a good time, that they are learning how much fun racing and swimming is and how great the people are in the sport, so that this is something that they want to stay involved in through the rest of their life. There are a few of the top swimmers that they didn't come from a summer league program at some point in their life. It's a tremendous amount of fun and something I encourage everyone to get involved in their local community and the kids can start very young and the pressure is not so much you have to win. It's mostly having a really good time. It's a great introduction to our sport.
