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.
My short course times during all four seasons never saw much improvement (except for falling in love with the 500 free and dropping buckets of time in it), but during the summers when i returned to my club team, i improved by leaps and bounds. I have to believe the college training set me up well for that, but not for swimming well during the college season.
