Industry News: United States Masters Swimming and College Swimming Coaches Announce New Program
I like the concept and have always felt that there was an opportunity to coordinate more with colleges when they are in the vicinity of masters teams...will be interesting to see how it works out. I still however believe that just as big of an opportunity exists to partner with High School swimming. My impression is that high school grads who don't go on to swim in college generally have no idea that masters swimming exists.

I agree...I did swim in college...but...I am the only one of my college team who knew about masters swimming and the only reason I knew was because I was miserable on my team and looking for a better venue to continue my swimming career.
Now that I am swimming on a club swim team in graduate school I am the only one on that team that knew that masters swimming was available for such young athletes (I think the problem is that most people assume that swimming masters is for an older population like some of the other masters teams...I am under the impression that a lot of the other masters programs start a few years/ decades after swimming masters does?)
