Poll of the Week, May 4, 2012: Should the NCAA Remove the Cap Limiting the Number of Swimmers and Divers at the Championships?


PHOENIX, Arizona, May 4. FOR 20 years, the NCAA has instituted a cap on the number of men and women who can attend the annual spring national championships. That cap has stayed pretty close to 322 females and 270 males, though the actual number of swimmers who participate each year is often well below that.

Even though the cap is rarely reached, should there be a limit to the number of swimmers who are allowed to compete at the NCAA championships? We want to hear from you on this, so go to swimmingworldmagazine.com/poll now and submit your vote. We'll let you know what our readers think in next Friday's show.

A few Canadian swimmers could be on the medal podium at the Olympics in July, but just how many medals will our neighbors to the north win? By the slimmest of margins in our last poll, 30.70 percent believed Canada could win two medals, and 29.82 percent believed they could win three or more. With 26.32 percent of the vote was one medal, and 13.16 percent believe Canada will walk away from the London Aquatic Center with zero medals.
