Enjoy a College Swim Meet

Swim team parent, Shelley Moore, passed on an interesting article from Swimnetwork (a collection of swimming blogs, features, news, activities, etc.). This article located here talks about the status of college swim programs as budgets are tightened.

"The reality is that no collegiate swim teams are safe anymore. Not in this economy. Not with growing budget crises across the nation. Many of the readers on this website are themselves current, future, or former collegiate swimmers. We all know the joys and benefits of swimming at the NCAA level," says the author.

Swimming is not the only sport on the chopping block. Cal-Berkeley dropped baseball, gymnastics, and womens' lacrosse. It is interesting to note that one of the hardest hit men's sports is wrestling as hundreds of programs have been dropped over the past couple of decades.

To support swimming, the blog article states that every swimmer should attend at least one local college swim meet. In light of that suggestion, meet schedules for Lock Haven University, Bucknell University, Penn State University, and Lycoming College are posted below.
