How do you go “pro” in swimming?  The Olympics are the pinnacle of swimming.  I can’t imagine her coming to Texas for any reason but to swim.  🤷 

She talks about moving to Austin to train under Bob Bowman....around the 6 minute mark.

She's 100% going to Texas to train under Bowman and says nothing will stop that.

With how prolific our swim and dive programs are, we should start OnTexas Swimming 

Some swimmers do forgo collegiate competition and turn pro or never compete in college at all. Carson Foster is a recent example who could have been part of our NCAA Championship team last year but wasn't because he turned pro. The best example of someone who turned pro as a teen and never competed in college is Michael Andrew..

Moving to Austin and training with Bob Bowman doesn't necessarily mean she's joining the UT swimming team. I haven't seen anything saying she's joining the collegiate team.

i read further into it and you are correct.  She is training in Austin but with Bob Bowman's pro team and not part of the Longhorn team.  😞

Correct, she is not expected to attend school. She’ll purely train with Longhorn Aquatics like other elite pros/olympians Shaine Casas, Simone Manuel, Regan Smith, Leon Marchand etc.
