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 at age 11 in the age group program. Swam summers in USS (back then) and in the middle school or high school seasons. Attended a couple of Y National events and then swam 4 years for Grand Valley State (DII). Was never of National or NCAA quality (not even close). Got into USMS 10 years after college. Have participated in a few Nationals (both SCY and LCM) usually outside the Top 10 looking in.
