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.

swam 4 years at a dIII school (rose-hulman). i was not impressive at all and really had one swim where i felt i did myself well. aside from that i had a blast. i made friends that i have kept even though i have been out for a few years and moved away. there were 3 things to pull me while in college: schoolwork, swimming and my social life. school and social life always took priority over training hard. but i was there at practice and meets, just wasnt the priority.
