Since we have some rivalries going on in other threads already, I was just curious, where'd you go to college? degree? swim?

79-83: Lake Forest College, 4 yrs swim team
BA: History & Mathematics
84-87: Univ. of Michigan, 2 yrs water polo club

93-94: Naval War College, 1994 USMS SCY Nationals
MA: National Security Studies
For all you youngsters out there who want to swim and study in college, LOOK AT FREAKING DIV III PROGRAMS! Swim for the varsity, have fun, get a good education, have balance, go to grad school if you want.
For all of you out there who talk to high school swimmers, TALK UP FREAKING DIV III PROGRAMS! We hyper-focus on the Olympic hopefuls in Div I, but it is much more feasible to study seriously in Div III (even if you have the chops for Div I), and to participate in Div III, especially if you don't have the chops for Div I.
Please note, Kenyon is not Div III. That's not a slam; it's a compliment, but it's not Div III. Don't let the label fool you; they've bribed the NCAA to let them continue to compete against actual Div III schools. (All you Lords & Ladies out there, I'M JUST KIDDING!!)
