SwimSwam spoke with Austin Lathrop, Camilo Vargas, and Sofia Vargas, three members of the Cal Poly swimming and diving roster that was suddenly cut by the school's athletic department on Friday, March 7, effective immediately. All three swimmers give their thoughts on how this matter was handled by the athletic director, what this team means to them, and how anyone can help in their grassroots effort to reinstate the team. While the team has a GoFundMe with the stated goal of raising $200,000, SwimSwam has reported that Cal Poly's president has stated it would take a $25,000,000 endowment for the team to be brought back.
