Heads up, Women Swimmers face a tough GA squad

[Water Pony]

January 8th, the Women Mustang swimmers and divers host a very talented Georgia team. Should be the dual team of the year.

Go Water Ponies!!

JAWga is always a stout team, in part because they train in a facility that looks like it was built by NASA. I wish the SMU money folks could see that thing, and then listen to Coach Sinnott and Coach Collins about the benefits (recruiting, attracting top opponents) to building a similar facility at SMU. I know the athletic department doesn't have an enormous budget, but the school has money (what's the endowment, $500 mil?) -- it's just a matter of where it's spent.

Go get 'em, Ponies - drown the 'Dawgs!

Couldn't agree more. Our natatorium, while deep in tradition, is not a competitve facility. Plus, when we added women's swimming and the demands of a very strong diving team, it is not practical to rely on Perkins Natatorium

I was sorry about the loss of the Men's Track team, but we need to make a major commitment to our remaining non-revenue sports. Our teams, especially the Women, do well despite the current facilities, but this won't last.

Today on the Hilltop - #6 SMU vs. #1 Georgia.

Good luck to the SMU women's swimming and diving team!

If I lived in or near Dallas I'd be at Perkins Natatorium today cheering for the talented SMU swimmers.

It should be an exciting meet.
