I got to meet them all and felt like they were really united and supportive of each other. The team coaches are also supportive and show the importance you are to their team. The university is extremely dedicated to its athletes and supports them in any imaginable way. The Arkansas University has multiple programs to help the athletes because aside from your swimming success they also focus on your future career success. The recreational events the University has, are incredible. They have such amazing facilities and the town is beautiful with multiple nature activities in your spare time.”
