If you swam in college

My granddaughter has several colleges interested in her. She is very excited, however, there is a naysayer in the family. Every time my granddaughter brings up the subject in his presence he makes comments like, "Swimming isn't your life," or "It is a waste of time because it won't get you a job." If she says, "What if I want to be a swim coach?" He says, "Sounds like a hobby, not a job." My question, what doors did swimming for a college/university open for you after graduation?

  • She is obviously able to handle a heavy workload. No reason she can't do it in college. Why do I doubt this naysayer ever put that kind of effort into high school, much less college??? I would ignore him ;-)
