Heather! I didn't know you went to Vanderbilt too! I think they still had a swim team when I was there (I am embarrassed to admit it was so long ago I can't be sure!) but I was nowhere near an SEC caliber swimmer, plus I had no time to train between a full class load and working 20 hours a week at the library. I did swim in the intramural meet one year though, and actually got 6th in the 50 back. No doubt this will come as a shock to anyone who has ever seen me swim backstroke! My B.A. was in English, with a minor in geology.
Wow Meg that's exciting. Never would have thought that I would have found another Vandy Commodore on these posts. I also swam at that intramural meet when I was in med school. The pool in Memorial Gym is actually GONE. They had to make room for facilities for the nationally ranked baseball team...They do have a beautiful student rec. center with a great pool where I sometimes swim. Actually last year they were thinking about bringing back women's swimming. I think that they would have done well with recruiting especially since some of the minor athletic programs like tennis, golf and lacrosse have had such success AND I'm told that Vandy is a HOT school right now. But instead they instituted a BOWLING team. How pathetic...
