Wrong board
You should change this thread to something more interesting

Probably because they're coached by Auburn's former coach on team USA.
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics Auburn swimmers won 19 medals and would've finished 15th in the medal count if Auburn were a country
Auburn has won 8 men's and 5 women's NCAA team championships
Georgia has won 0 men's and 7 women's titles
Florida has won 2 men's (none since '84) and 3 women's (1 in the last 30 years)
So Georgia has the elite women's program at the moment, but yalls men's team hasn't even won the SEC since 1955. Between UGA and UF, only the lady bulldogs are fit to hold Auburn's speedos.

You watch men's swimming?
Look up Go Gata Olympic Swim medals.

If Wikipedia is to be believed Florida swimming & diving has won 62 total Olympic medals. Damned impressive 
but I wonder why that hasn't translated to more team succes at the NCAA level?
Can't find an exact number for Auburn, but I think it's in the mid 30's?
Florida had a bit of a head start on AU though. Auburn wasn't relevant until we hired David Marsh in the 90's. Florida has won a men's SEC championship every decade since the 30's, except the 2000's because AU won every men's SEC team championship from 1997 to 2012

Because Gaytuhs wear jean shorts.
And Jorts create hella drag in the pool.
I'm a Dawg, but will always thank Barn for shutting out Irving Meyers while he was at UF and Spurrier whilst at SCAR.

No problem, bud. Can't wait to do the same to Kirby

Not to be an a-hole but Barn has very serious problems and may be the worst team in The SEC this season.

You must get your football news solely from the SEC Rant if you honestly believe that. Our problems are vastly overstated by the trolls and chicken littles of Internet forums. Auburn will not even be in the bottom half of the league this season.
I would be far more concerned about having a brand new HC and true freshman QB. Even with a creampuff East to prop up against.

Thank you. I ask this since I want my child to go to either AU or UGA for swimming and diving.

UF is historically better, auburn is currently a dumpster fire, uga's coach has been there since 80 so I wouldn't be on Jack being around much longer. UF's head coach was one of my least favorite people in swimming, but Nesty is good people.
Free tip, if your kid has a dick, he'll need to be scoring points at nationals to get more than 50% scholarship at these 3 schools. Sans penis the standards drop much further since women get 41% more total scholarships.

Need to include UF to the mix

So what event(s) does your kid swim? Each of those 3 teams have coaches that cater to slightly different events. UF coach is great with im, Auburn's coach is a multi time NCAA 50 & 100 champ, and uga always produces some great 200 butterfliers. If you think your kid is good enough to swim college you probably realize the nuances. College swimming does kinda cater to sprinters, 4 of the 5 relays are 4x 50 or 100's.
My last unsolicited advice is, always pick a school that brings in football money. Sponsorship deals clothe and equip us. We get the short end fiscally, so may as well factor that in off the bat.
