New = first season for the club; back = last season's athletes racing again.
How to read this
An athlete is in a season when they raced anything for the club, relays included. New = first season for the club; returning = raced for it before; lapsed = raced last season but not this one; back = last season's athletes who raced again. Percentages need 5 athletes; below that you see the counts.
A club's first season on record has no new/returning split: with no season before it, everyone would look new. The pyramid counts each athlete once, at the age group they raced most for the club that season (how we count), the same age the Depth screen shows; mixed-age divisions are left out.
