Young swimmers compete on club teams and may wish to continue their
careers through college. Recruiting for collegiate swimming often starts
on July 1 following the athlete's junior year of high school. That date
marks the day that college coaches can contact athletes via phone to
discuss possibly swimming for their team.
College swimmers compete starting in the fall until their conference meet in the early spring. From there, the swimmers with the fastest times in each event will be invited to compete in the NCAA championships after the regular season is over. All college meets are competed in short course pools.
