American College Connection is not a recruiting service. We are a recruiting education company that specializes in swimming with a focus on academics. We believe in the personal touch that is needed to help our families navigate the recruiting game. Choosing a college is one of the most important decisions a young person will ever make. We take that very seriously. As former college swim coaches, we are able to get the current coaches to initiate contact with our swimmers and we are able to sell their potential to the coaches. We invite you to browse our site to see what we are all about!
