Will Swimming Pay for College?

Earning a scholarship is wonderful. If your child is fortunate enough to get one, you have every right to be proud and happy.

When my kids were little and new to our swim team, we never thought about college scholarships. After all, we didn’t know if our kids would stick through one season of swimming, let alone 10 plus years of it.

I remember parents of older kids who were very focused on scholarships and believed that swimming was their ticket for a paid for college education. I can report that these parents did send their kids to college with big scholarships and it worked out well for them.
