Four individuals will compete for Columbia College at the 2022 season-opening meet at St. Andrews.

"We are excited to kick off the inaugural season for the men's team here at Columbia College," said Giese. "We have a great group of talented swimmers that will make a big impact, especially in the stroke events. They have put in the work and ready to get up and race."
