Maryland Swimming

Posted by Glenn Mills on Nov 15, 2011 04:06PM (698 views)

There is an epidemic in swimming right now, and Maryland is latest in a long line of schools dropping swimming from their programs.

This is also a notice to all college coaches, your programs are NOT safe.  In my humble opinion, you're not just a coach anymore, it's time to rally your alumni prior to this being done to you.  While the efforts and outcries and the momentum building to save the program are great, view this as a precursor for your own programs and start your outreach program before this hits you.

In the meantime... remember, this is about the swimmers, the athletes, the kids.

You wonder why the USA is going downhill. This is symbolic. Hard work, discipline and commitment are no longer being valued in a country which prided itself on these attributes.

Don't think we're all like that, and we're not done yet. ;)

I teach at a public high school in Northern California. Programs a being cut faster than a knife though butter. Sad thing is it only takes money to save these programs. The US of A has more of the money stuff than any other country. We seem to like G3's instead of smart, dedicated, focues and persistant youth.
Fight hard UM!
