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

I didn't swim much but I took a Red Cross LifeSaving Class that was offered. I was doing nicely rescuing people, doing first aid and CPR and I passed all the parts until the end when we had to swim something like 200 yards. Nobody told me about that part. It turned out I couldn't swim more than a couple of pool lengths. Who knew?
They started a diving team and I tried out for it but didn't make it. There was absolutely no instruction or drills. The practices consisted of the coach telling us to do some kind of dive. You either knew how to do it or figured it out. Eventually some guys did. I didn't.
