    William & Mary is considered one of the most prestigious academic schools in the country.

    You may have heard of some of their famous alumni… Thomas Jefferson. James Monroe. John Tyler.

    America’s brightest swimmers don’t go to W&M for the scholarships because there are none. And they certainly don’t go for the facilities — the pool is not worthy of the accomplishments that Tribe Swimming has achieved.

    They attend W&M because the people that go to W&M are a special kind of people. One could say they are from the same Tribe…

    Brett welcomes Rich Williams from the W&M Class of ’98 on the podcast to help spread the word to SAVE TRIBE SWIMMING!

    From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/page… – Learn about the dangers posed by swimming pool main drains. In recent years new pools are built with anti-entrapment materials and installation standards. There are still many older pools that do not meet these standards and pose the risk of trapping swimmers underwater. Pools should be built with anti-entrapment standards as defined by the Virginia Graeme Baker Act (VGBA). While swimming pools can and should be safe from suction entrapment you should never make the assumption that there is no danger.
