so the boy finished his sophomore swim season, and plans to swim competitive this summer (around Football conditioning) - He decided he wants to swim in college, so he created a recruiting profile and has been in contact with 3 DIII schools that all want to setup visits this summer, and 1 DII school that also wants to setup a visit. pretty cool - all of the schools have a PT program (he wants to get his DPT), so we'll see how all of this plays out.

Too soon old, too late smart
Did the same with daughter coming out of HS. Visited various colleges, and you might want to get him qualified for JO's. Colleges recruit kids with Junior Olympic times, and believe me, they're a big deal. A kid from a small HS, versus a 2,000+ HS, can compete equally in the pool. Anyway, most of the colleges don't have much money for scholarships (not entirely certain how the new rules are), but most 'whole' scholarships are broken into several/many pieces so each kid can get some. Many swimmers rely on academic scholarships, so keep grades up (with as many AP classes as possible). We interviewed coach at Northwestern, and when started throwing times around, he mentioned he just got a kid from NC with a JO times 2 seconds (huge!) better than daughter. And we did summer league, year-rounds, etc for several years. She swam four years at small school, but took home 3 All American trophies. Top three in every event, including relays, get All American.....

at the DIII level, there are no athletic scholarships, but they always seem to find extra "merit" scholarships for kids they want. I'm excited for him to at least start down this road. He's really focusing in on the 200IM, only swam it 3 times this season and obviously got stronger each time. The competitive swim this summer will be really good for him to help take it further.

The G.O.A.T.
Played and coached D3 - recruits essays really blow you away and turn into fantastic academic scholarships
Where there is a will there's a way and a work around when it comes to the top programs in D3, either way I have a feeling things will work out just fine for your son!

there's a reason Mt Union and Wisconsin Whitewater are always at the top - the first school that reached out to him actually only has 2 male swimmers on the roster right now, LOLPlayed and coached D3 - recruits essays really blow you away and turn into fantastic academic scholarships
