 College
Recruiting ... So, what really happens?
A lot of swimmers wonder what happens when
they're in their Sophomore or Junior year of High School and are
ready to look at colleges and universities. Will coaches recruit
me? Can I get a scholarship? What are the recruiting trips that
I hear about? What about all those NCAA rules where Coaches can't
talk to me ... What's up with that?
There is a great series of articles/blogs
on www.collegeswimming.com that provide insight about how the process
works and what people can expect when they decide to start looking
at schools. I've captured them here so that everyone can get a glimpse
into the world of college recruiting for swimmers. Naturally, rule
#1 is "talk with Coach Jeff".
