<p>Why is it that no school ever has competitive men's swimming? I tried looking at the Rice Athletics Homepage, but its giving me trouble right now. Does anyone know if there are any intramural water sports (swimming, crew, water polo) at Rice? </p>
<p>See you all at owl weekend (less than a week now)!</p>
<p>Um nice username, im hoping thats not indicative of you at all =]</p>
<p>Actually, it is. If you are going to owl weekend and see a lice infested, bucktoothed, dude scratching himself in awkward places--that's me. Give you something to look forward to :-)</p>
<p>I'll be happy if there is only one of him. I mean that in the kindest way possible :) . The lice infested part bugs me though, you sure it's safe to let you in the pool?</p>
<p>Doesn't matter. We redneck don' take too kindly to obeyin' rules.</p>
<p>A number of schools have eliminated men's swimming from their sports roster in order to make Title IX numbers. It is a great shame because this is a sport where men and women practice together, it is an olympic sport. But that along with gymnastics and wrestling are getting the ax at many schools.</p>
<p>That really is too bad. I guess its time to join cross country (yea right...)</p>
<p>There's water polo and crew. They always want people, so you should join.</p>
<p>what about girls' swimming at Rice?</p>
<p>there's varsity girls swimming.</p>
