Daughter was at Tysons in 20/21 I think

Got a lot of Flanagan stories including when he took my son and a few others to swim in one of the Reston lakes during covid. He's out there in a rowboat, and I have video of my son doing fly in fins right behind him. Very thankful for all he did for both of them. If anything, giving my son that Summer after his SO year to train during covid was huge for his mental health. He went back to college a much better swimmer. Last day of Summer practice after the usual beatdown, John told Dave he'd give him $20 if he could swim a 1:55 200 fly unsuited. He dropped a 1:54, took the 20, and walked out the door. It was also a go home swim for the rest of the team. Good times during some really bad times.

Looks like the men are still 5th after last night's races

Speaking of swimming, does the ACC now sponsor water polo?**
EDGEMAN 02/20/26 06:25 PM ET
Club polo
Happy Dog 02/21/26 08:17 AM ET
Do schools need a 50m pool for club water polo or is 25m big enough?**
UpperQuad 02/22/26 12:31 PM ET
25 is fine for college
Happy Dog 02/22/26 01:34 PM ET
Yes, Cal and Stanford knocked us back two pegs

No shortage of those stories.

He is indeed an absolute legend
Happy Dog 02/25/26 04:55 PM ET
Is it the program or the school?**
Femoyer Hokie 02/22/26 12:33 PM ET
I have a couple theories
Happy Dog 02/22/26 01:41 PM ET
I'm surprised that academics are an issue for VT swimming recruiting
UpperQuad 02/22/26 01:53 PM ET
I think have a bead on it there
Happy Dog 02/22/26 03:41 PM ET
That is what I was thinking.**
