<p>Can anyone tell me their experience on the swim team at Caltech and MIT - combining academics and swimming and the intensity of each swim programme? My son ( a sophomore) wants to take science courses at college and is a good not great swimmer (50 Free 22.87 100 Free 49.19 100 Fly 54.32 100 Breast 1:02.16) and an A student taking PreCalculus Hon and AP Chem in sophomore year.</p>
<p>Caltech’s swimming team is pretty cool, the coach is an extremely nice person (he will even take you home for thanksgiving), and you gotta meet a lot of nice and wonderful people.
For the record, the statistics is very impressive already for Caltech… (100 Free for less than 1 min??? wow!)</p>
