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?

  • As a little side note she has her first official offer. Unfortunately it isn't from the school she is most interested in. But, she is excited and I couldn't be more happy for her. Hopefully, there will be more offers coming. Thanks everyone. Congratulations! This is cool news. This community is the greatest and says so much about swimmers.For sure ... and that community will be another lifelong benefit to your grand-daughter.
