It goes with the territory of having been through the process, and people wanting to tap into that experience.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: #222222;\">Many of the high schoolers I speak with are in the same predicament I had when going through the recruiting process myself. My parents gave me a simple rule when picking out colleges: they would pay for any public colleges in-state; anything else was on me. \u00a0I wanted to go to a Division 1 school. Fortunately, in Virginia where I currently reside, there are 6 different D1 schools with swimming programs. \u00a0The high schoolers I have been talking to are from Tennessee. Guess how many public Division I colleges have swim teams in the state of Tennessee? One, there is only one D1 college team in the entire state of Tennessee &#8211; the Tennessee Volunteers. \u00a0Vanderbilt University does offer a women&#8217;s swimming program, but is a private institution.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: #222222;\">Across the U.S., three states do not even have a public D1 college with a swim team: Montana, Alaska, and Mississippi. Sixteen states have only one public D1 college with a swim team. \u00a0In the Southeastern Conference, these schools include the University of Tennessee and Louisiana State University (LSU). Twelve states have only two public D1 colleges with a swim team. In the SEC these teams include Auburn, University of Alabama and the University of Missouri.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: #222222;\">The other SEC teams have 3 or more D1 colleges in the state (Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Texas A&amp;M) or are private (Vanderbilt).<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: #222222;\">\n<table>\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"276\" \/>\n<col width=\"147\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Number of Public College(s) within the State with a D1 Swim Team<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Number of States<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">16<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: #222222;\">How many athletes end up going to school in-state at these schools?<\/p>\n<p>I decided to take a look specifically at the SEC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: #222222;\">Auburn has three women and three men from the state of Alabama. \u00a0University of Alabama has one woman and six men from the state of Alabama. \u00a0A total of 13\u00a0athletes from the state of Alabama went to an in-state D1 college to swim.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: #222222;\">At LSU, four women and four men are from the state of Louisiana. \u00a0Eight total athletes in Louisiana went to an in-state D1 school to swim.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: #222222;\">At Tennessee, there are six men from the state of Tennessee.
