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 wanted to swim in college, but when I asked about joining the team, a division III, I was told I wasn't fast enough. I found out later on that I would have at least gotten 3-4th places most of the times. I was asked by a couple of the swimmers why I didn't join later but I just didn't want to my last couple of years of college. I sometimes wish I would have as I'm sure I would have gotten a lot faster.
