This is my blog that follows swimming & diving in Winona MN and those Winonans that have left to swim elsewhere. Occasionally I will post items of info related to swimming & diving in general.

The College Season Kicks Off

This Thursday marks the start of the college swimming season. Minnesota State University Mankato gets first dibs swimming  Thursday afternoon for their Men's & Women's Intrasquad contests. This Saturday the University of Wisconsin River Falls does the same with their Intrasquad meets.

By the way, just as we start including discussions on college swimming and keeping a watch, word is out amongst the swimming community that UW-RF is talking about shutting down their swimming program for lack of a modern facility. Contact the following administrators before Wednesday Afternoon about the shortsightedness of that decision and the benefits of a swim program to the athletes, college community and the community.

Chancellor Dean VanGalen dean.vangalen@uwrf.edu

AD Rick Bowen rick.h.bowen@uwrf.edu
Athletic Committee Chair Brian Huffman brian.j.huffman@uwrf.edu

The Executive Director of the College Swim Coaches Association, Mr. Groseth has asked that he be copied on the emails, r-groseth@northwestern.edu.
