She is no longer at the high school. Girls and boys practice together,
Meets are also co-ed, but individual races are gender specific.
The swim team has been bad through a number of coaches. Most have been women.
The girl's team has a decent. but not outstanding, record.
I don't know if the problem with the boy's team is that it is more difficult for a female coach to work with male swimmers.
There are 2 obvious problems for the swimming program.
We are one of only 3 high schools in the league that don't have their own pool.
The team practices from 5:30 to 7:00 AM at a local college, not a good time for attracting team members.
Many of the schools are in more affluent communities where many of the students have private coaching.
