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?
Besides... if she can keep her grades up, and enjoys swimming, she should swim. Life is too short to let something you love go just because one person thinks it's silly! (I still swim, and coach part time, decades after college!)
