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.

4 Years D1 scholarship swimmer here as well. Loved all of it. I was a solid "B" relay member :) Steadily progressed my times in college but a lot of that was due to the fact I started swimming in HS so I wasn't burnt out by the time i got to college like many of my teammates that swam since 8 years old and I had a lot of room for improvement.
I was able to easily maintain well ahead of my 2.0 GPA goal as well and finished in 4.5 years.
