Florida is a hotbed of talented swimmers. USF could put together a championship team just with swimmers from Tampa Bay area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl in the picture has too much drag to be a competitive swimmer; swimmers need to be streamlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd love to go to USF, but he wants to go somewhere that has swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example in Florida, UNF and FGCU have women only swim teams--no mens. I don't know how close to full Title IX compliance USF is; just throwing a bunch of girls on the cross country team and giving them a pair of running shoes might not fully cut it. If USF needed to add a women's athletic team--swimming would be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
