We’ve finished Season 5 of Weekly Wonders of Age Group Swimming and it’s time to look back at what 2017-18 looked like “by the numbers.” In our first year, from October 2013 through August 2014 we had 508 mentions; during the 2014-15 season that number was 473, in 2015-16 it was 327, and in 2016-17, 357. This past season we wrote about 303 athletes, some of whom are household names but most of whom you didn’t know.
The age group distribution skewed slightly older this year, although most of the names came from the 13-16-year-old age groups. It’s what you would expect, given that growth spurts during the teenage years tend to lead to big time drops. After all, what we tend to look for when putting together a WWAGS lists is an athlete’s performance relative to herself, not to her peer group.
And although some commenters bemoan the fact that their region isn’t getting enough attention, you’ll see that the mentions by LSC are well spread-out and represent more of a “Senate” distribution than a “House of Representatives” one. That is, smaller LSCs have relatively more coverage than larger LSCs.
Below is the breakdown of mentions for the 2017-18 swim season. As we did last year, we’ve listed all the swimmers we wrote about during the year, in addition to the club they represented. Go back through the archives to read what we said about your favorite team, your teammate, your son or daughter, or any clubs/swimmers you are curious about. The dates of the articles in which they are mentioned are provided in the far-right column.

I love to read about all the kids featured in the weekly coverage. What happened to the 2 weeks between 8/8/2018 and 8/29/2018?
Hi SwimMom – we take a couple of weeks off throughout the year in between seasons when there’s not much going on, then resume once meets ramp up again for the SCY season. We usually take off a week around New Year’s, too, for example, because there aren’t that many meets happening.
Thanks to the SwimSwam staff for providing a platform to feature the many talented swimmers. I always look forward to reading the articles with my kids. I know that not much was going on between 8/8/18 and 8/29/18. However, I know of two huge swim meets that should be covered: Western Zone Age Zone Age Group and Eastern Zone Age Group. For many 12-and-under swimmers, this meet is the culmination of a long year of dedication, hard work and perseverance. Many talented swimmers who deserve to be recognized. Thanks.
WOW. This is incredible, to see it all laid out this way.
My child was never featured, but none-the-less, I’m grateful Anne for all of the work you’ve put in to do this. We see so much negativity in swimming, in the world…WWAGS has become my ‘safe space’ to go see where kids are swimming fast and succeeding and hitting their goals. Thanks for sharing with us every week.
And thank you to MP for sponsoring this!
I have always loved the coverage. Swim Swam was the first to put my daughter on the radar with coverage of the NCSA 14 and under meet in Clearwater Florida.. She received her first recruiting letters based off that coverage. She now swims at a major D1 college. Thanks Swim Swam for putting her on the map!
Thanks for the summary of a great year and thank you for doing the WWAGs and your ongoing support of swimming at all levels! I’m excited for the new year to ‘officially’ start when my SwimSwan College Preview comes in the mail soon.
