Jack's college swim career

Jack is swimming at Vassar and doing some fast times. He's still working on consistency and he can't believe some of the pools that they swim in (25 yard indoors with 6 lanes.... unlike the 50meter outdoor pools he is used to.) Check out the Vassar athletic web site for some results. The following 3 articles highlight recent meets that Jack has swum in.

Here's a quote:

Alaimo showed an impressive display of endurance, going directly from the IM to the relay, where he joined Lars Lapann-Johannessen (Landisville, PA/Hempfield), Jack Smart (Honolulu, HI/Punahou School), and Ian Madison (Philadelphia, PA/Holy Ghost) to notch the win.

Vassar nearly swept the relays, coming in just two-tenths of a second behind the winning Skidmore team in the 200-yard medley relay.

Prater-Lee was impressed by the performance of new swimmers contributing crucial second and third place finishes.

“The guys who finished in second and third were crucial because its four points that we get and that Skidmore doesn’t get and our guys understand that now,” said Prater-Lee. “They’re making a huge contribution that way.”

In particular, Prater-Lee pointed out the performance of freshman Smart, who finished first in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:23.27).

“Jack was gutsy today,” said Prater-Lee.
