We work with student-athletes all around the world to help them find the right fit for academics first, swimming second! A list of resources for all students is below. Check back often for more resources.
There are 4 critical components of successful college recruiting.
To chase or not to chase a college coach. We get the coaches to initiate contact with the swimmer. This is a very important part of receiving a swimming scholarship. When you chase a college coach you chase scholarship money off the table.
How much faster will you be? Since the recruiting process is starting much earlier than ever before, it is essential to have someone who can sell the swimmer’s potential to the coaches. We are able to get the coaches to see how fast the swimmer might go in their freshman year in college.
How to determine which schools could be the right fit. We put together a list of schools for the parents and swimmer that could be the right fit for academics and swimming. The swimmer lets us know what schools they would like to hear from and we contact each coach personally.
How to play the recruiting game. Make no mistake about it, recruiting is a game. We teach the parents and swimmers how to play the game. We help the parents understand what questions they need to be asking. We teach the swimmer how to ask for scholarships the right way, how to talk on the phone with coaches, and how to sell their own potential. We keep the families updated on NCAA rule changes and new trends in the recruiting process.

Nothing compares to swimming in college in the U.S. No other country is able to offer what the NCAA does: a chance to get a great education and a chance to reach full potential in swimming. For an international swimmer, it is critical to find the right fit for a coach who will support the swimmer’s goals of returning to their home club and for goals that include possibly representing their country. It can be very difficult for international families to know which schools would be a good fit for academics and swimming for their swimmer. We suggest schools that could be a good fit for academics and swimming to the families then we contact those coaches directly/personally.
How to find schools that offer the right fit for academics. Our number one priority is to help the swimmer find the right fit for education first. Our Academic Advisor helps the family understand how the recruiting process works from the academic side. We send the families a list of schools that could be the right fit for what the swimmer wants to study and the right fit for swimming. We then contact those coaches directly to get them interested in the swimmer.
How to find the right fit for swimming. We have personal connections with nearly every college coach in the U.S. and Canada. We know the ones who will support international goals and those who don’t.
What’s it like to be a college swimmer. We have a Life-Skills program for our swimmers that helps them learn how to prepare for life as a college student-athlete.
