I know this is a very old thread, but I wanted to weigh in on a comment made above. Having recently met the “new” Middlebury coach – now four years in place – I’m happy to report that he is impressive indeed and absolutely top notch. He’s highly knowledgeable, friendly, dedicated, super supportive of his swimmers, and friendly to parents (to this parent, at least!). I’m not sure that you could do better than Coach Rueppel anywhere – DIII, DII, or DI. And the facilities at Middlebury are far-and-away the best in the NESCACs and among the best in DIII anywhere. Absolutely gorgeous.
Just wanted to correct the record there!
