<p>I can’t give you any first hand information about what it’s like to be a member of the team @Wesleyan, but, I find it fascinating that the amount of traffic your post has generated at each college site, in the 24 hours that it has been up seems almost inversely related to the strength of the individual team (Williams and Colgate being the obvious outliers). It makes me wonder whether it is one of those sports (similar to cross-country) where people still go out for the sheer passion of it? :)</p>
<p>Williams - 205
Wesleyan - 161
Vassar - 157
Colgate - 155
Colby - 148
Bates - 143
Bowdoin - 35
Middlebury - 33
Swarthmore - 27
Hamilton - 15
Amherst - 14</p>
<p>In answer to some of the other questions in your post, I think it’s generally recognized that Wesleyan has the best facilities in NESCAC. Also, in common with swim teams generally, the men’s gpa is pretty good:<a href=“Wesleyan’s Blog System”>Wesleyan’s Blog System;
<p>Also, the coaching staff seems to be in transition as the head coach transferred to a DI university last year and was replaced by a retired, interim coach this year.</p>
