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 was a walk on in college and almost every athlete on the "major" sports has given it up. I am about to turn 70 and am still going. 9 events at the state meet and , I'm proud to say, qualified for 5 of my 6 events at the upcoming SC Nationals in Greensboro.
