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.
Swam one year at Dartmouth College, Div 1, no scholarships. Injured rotator cuff shortly before Ivy League Championships. Swam anyway, but cancelled plans to go to other championships meets. Quit swimming due to injury and burnout and carried on being a nerd. Stayed away for 24 years.
