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.
We did not have NCAA swimming when I was in college. I swam for a club college team in New Jersey before transferring to DU in Colorado. During l968 and l969 they only had a club team . Instead of attending college winter quarter, I went during the summer so I could work at Vail and ski everyday! I did not swim for 12 years!. I got back to Masters when I lived in Atlanta and have been swimming masters for about 30 years!
