Old national caliber swimmers that never come back
Former Member
Interesting and unfortunate that the vast majority of ex swimmers that made finals at NCAAs or Nationals when they were younger (or even just cuts) do not now participate in Masters Swimming. Only a small handful of these people come to Masters Nationals each year within each age group.
What a good opportunity USMS presents to see old faces and have a good time. I think USMS would benefit tremendously from their knowledge of the sport.

According to the University of Texas swimming website, under Olympians these guys were listed as being collegians at Texas in the Olympics. In 1980, Ken Armstrong - Canadian Diving Team. In 1984, both Jon Vegard and Christian Styren repesenting the Norway Diving Team.
For swimmers, I know it was before Eddie's time but Felipe Munoz, who was the upset winner of the 200 *** in the 1968 Olympics. Also a swimmer named Carlos Arena reperesented Mexico in the 1996 Olympics. These were the only foireign athletes that were listed as representing the University.
