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.

Started swimming at age 5. Local program was not very strong, but went went to prep school for 1 year and really improved.
In high school I was a 1 man team and went to PIAA states and placed 24 after being seeded last.
Went to a division III college. Missed qualifing for Nationals by .01 seconds. Voted most improved and most valuable swimmer by team mates my senior year and was captain both Junior and Seniors years in college.
Held college records for about 20 years in 100 and 200 breaststoke.
Started coaching after college and then went into masters swimming.
I am still an assistant coach for local high school and YMCA teams and swim masters in our local YMCA program.
I am now 52, still swimming and enjoying the water.
Jim you must not have been very tired after Sundays meet to go home and post this thread.
