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.
Earliest memories, 'swimming' in 1 ring blow up pool in front yard. Dad in AF so we moved around a lot, but always loved being in the water. At 12, moved to CA and neighborhood with summer league. Was hooked. Swam summer league and high school, league record in 100 *** at 16 (last summer league swim in CA). Then we moved to NM. Missed my junior year to swim - CA swims in spring, NM swims in fall, we moved in DEC (I am still angry at my parents and we moved in '78). Good thing was that I made state in NM - 100 *** - would not have made state in CA. Stopped swimming after high school. Started again 2 years ago when masters started nearby and I love it as much as ever!!!!! :fish2:
