So we wanted to know how you would feel if you were or currently are a high school swimmer. We polled our audience: what would be your first thought if colleges dropped swimming as a sport. The results were overwhelming with 72% of the votes choosing to continue training with their club team. 12% of the votes feel they would stop swimming, 7% would change sports and 7% would consider not attending college. Pretty scary to think about but these results tell me we have dedicated athletes who have larger goals beyond college. Let us know what you think on SwimmingWorld.com.
