Were you a College Swimmer?

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.

  • Went to an all girls high school that didn't believe women should compete. I swam as often as I could get into the pool. Got my lifeguarding and taught at camp. (no competition) In college they offered two levels of swim classes, beginner and non beginner. The coach wanted to start a women's team, but we didn't have enough people to participate. Got distracted from swimming by children and job responsibilities. Came back a few years ago. I'm not fast, but I keep trying.
