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?
I wonder if he'd be saying the same thing if it was a boy playing college football?
I'd sure hope so since the graduation rate of swimmers is way higher than football players!
Some recruiters will be impressed, others will not be. But I doubt many would see it as a negative thing.
