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?
Thanks again everyone! Things are going well with my granddaughter. The process is very interesting. I may soon be asking advice on how to be the grandmother of a college swimmer--new territory for me. I swam, my daughter swam (AG & HS) so I knew how to be the grandmother of a AG, Sr and HS swimmer, but I haven't a clue about being a college swimming grandmother.
