Were you a College Swimmer?

bbpolhill
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.

  • In SoCal the swimming & diving program at UC Irvine was shut down this year. A couple of great local masters swimmer/coach types (Keith Ryan & Aleah Amr) set about rounding up some of them to recruit for the OCC COAST Masters. www.coastmastersswimming.com They showed up last weekend at the Southwest Zone / SPMA Regional Championships and took home 5th place overall! Had to be one of the hottest "young" clubs in the history of at least SPMA swimming! I thought it would have been fun to take a photo of the COAST & San Diego Swim Masters clubs side by side. Two ends of the spectrum :) UC Irvine is my alma mater. I was very sorry to hear that the program was shutdown. We had fair swimmers and amazing divers - Jenny Chandler and Greg Louganis were the top divers there when I was swimming. We always got max diving points. Glad to hear that the masters team there is recruiting college age swimmers.
