What’s a Swimquaintence?
Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or parent, you’re at the pool for hours a week. Practice, meets, volunteering… you put in some serious time. And during that time, you meet other people who are putting in their time. Swimquaintences. We all have them.
While in Houston, Swimswam took a trip over to Rice University’s campus. While there, we asked them about their swimquaintences. If you’re swimming in college, you’ve been around the block in the swimming community. You know people, you’ve seen faces. You definitely have a few swim stories up your sleeve to share, which the girls at Rice certainly did.
Bro I go there all the time haha that’s crazy
That’s where I swam in college. They no longer have a men’s team though. The pool they have now is beautiful. The pool we swam in was an indoor hole in the ground but had the best time there.
I had a dual meet at that old Rice pool in 1974 or 75 while I was at Tulane and it seemed old then. I now swim Masters at the new 50 m pool and you are right; beautiful.
Ricegum university?
