Know of two great people who have been swimming longer...
one interviewed in Mar. of 2005 and got the pool letter in Apr. of 2005.
The other interviewed in Feb of 2005 and has been swimming since Mar. of 2005. HR is aware of these two, as one has contacted them directly, and the other had his sponsor go check on his status. I believe there is someone on this board posting under the name Wigwags that has been swimming longer than these other two. Good luck KBB, MB, Wigwags, and the rest of those who have been swimming for what seems like forever. Hopefully 2007 will be the year for your phones to ring!
