I am curious how many of the posters here swam in high school, college, etc. and how close to the top you got. Thus the following not terribly detailed poll.
I swam one year division 1, then had a string of injuries. Swam 1 full season of NAIA, got my All-American honorable mention certificate and that was that. I didn't swim again for about 15 years until I got invited to watch 2004 Olympic Trials in Long Beach and got all excited again. Now I work out for a few weeks every spring and go to Masters Nationals to see old friends and have fun.:chug:
