Abstract: Abstract A labor-leisure model helps explain why entry into competitive swim is blocked. Swim has been, historically, a racially uniform sport. Demand shocks during Olympic years may portend that a different era is coming. Blocked entry is related to competitive balance in the sport. A Hirschman-Hirfindahl index of competitive balance in collegiate swim is used to compare swim to other sports.
