I'm always interested in hearing about the USMS demographics, but I couldn't find any information on USMS and college swimming. I was wondering roughly what percentage of US Masters swimmers swam in college and at what level. I also wanted to hear from you where you went, when, and what you loved / hated most about college swimming.
I started competing at age 5. By the time I was 18, I was ready to take a break. I chose a college that didn't have a swim team on purpose. I stopped swimming competitively from 1988 until 2000. In 2000 my sister did LCM Nationals. When she came back, I thought "I can do that" and got back in the water a few weeks later (no... we're not competitive hee-hee) at age 29.
