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 would venture to say that out of the 170 swimmers on our new club here in SoCal, maybe 3 or 4 max swam in college.
And probably less than 25 ever swam competitively at all.
I got similar problems here, first there's no masters programs even close to me, even if there was, there's no pool meets during the summer for masters in my state. I had to rejoin USS just to get in some summer meets that aren't openwater. :(
