If SwimSwam is to be believed, the University of Minnesota women's team is killing it in recruiting this year! An incoming freshman with a 52-flat 100 bk and a 1:57 200 bk?! Maybe that's just one swimmer, but there have been announcements of something like half a dozen strong prospects giving verbal to UM. swimswam.com/.../

All the fun is about to begin again. Recruiting trips, verbal committments then signing day in November. www.collegeswimming.com/.../ on: www.collegeswimming.com/.../ just indicate men or women then put your mouse pointer over a swimmers' name and it will show their fastest times The other day I spoke with a friend. In Division 1 Men have 9.9 swimming scholarships and women have 14. so if coaches spread them evenly among their classes, each year a Men's team only has 2.49 scholarships to give and women only have 3.49 scholarships. So each year, the top 10 schools only have around 24.9 scholarships to give men and 34.9 to give women. Coaches don't always evenly spread them among their classes

Division I Coaches React to Major NCAA Rules Changes

RE: College Recruits, Commitments, Signing, & Transfers

ande — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:30:36 GMT

NCAA to Consider Major Rules Changes on January 19th in Dallas below are a few excerpts that apply to swimming and swimmers: When the NCAA Division I Board of Directors meets on January 19th in Grapevine, Texas, just outside of Dallas, they will vote on some significant rules changes that will affect the way that college coaches are able to recruit athletes. ... The overall move is toward relaxing rules involved in recruiting and giving coaches and student-athletes more freedom during the process. The biggest impacts on swimming are Proposals No. 13-2 and 13-3. 13-2 would establish a uniform contact date for coaches to begin calling student-athletes after July 1st of their sophomore year. Many sports (basketball, volleyball) allow a June 15th after sophomore year timeline, but in swimming a coach cannot call a student-athlete until after July 1 of your junior year. Swimmers can call a coach as a sophomore or a junior, but a coach cannot call a student-athlete. This move is supported to create more uniform rules across sports, rather than the patchwork calendar that exists now. Proposal 13-3 would “remove restrictions governing modes and numerical limitations on recruiting communication,” which has received support from a “working group” of university presidents that has met effectively as a discussion committee to vet these ideas out, as well as the student-athlete advisory committee. This has been a big topic of debate, given the various new forms of communication that are available for communications between coaches and athletes. The opposite side of the coin is a fear that coaches could overwhelm student-athletes and distract them from focusing on their education and training. Proposal 16-2 would be especially significant to athletes in Olympic sports, which would allow the schools, the USOC and other national governing bodies to provide actual and necessary expenses for a student-athlete to receive awards, meaning that college athletes would be able to be reimbursed either by the school or USA Swimming to travel, for example, to the Golden Goggles awards, as well as their parents and other relatives. One more rule under the “16′s” involving money that has a big effect on swimming is rule 16-8, which would allow student-athletes to receive “necessary expenses and reasonable benefits” to pay for national team practice and competition, as well as allowing schools to pay for swimmers’ travel to national team tryouts and championship events. That could have huge, wide-reaching effects in swimming, and specifically would tilt the scales even further toward large, well-endowed programs. Given what we’ve seen in other ruling by the NCAA, especially in rulings allowing athletes in competition for championships to sit out of classes while training for championship events, this could have a huge, wide-ranging impact on allowing schools to pay for athletes’ travel to many different USA Swimming events, even if it’s not for purposes of representing the school.

Yeah, my opinion of SwimSwam nosedived a bit: they talk about her father, former pro baseball player BJ, but don't even mention Polly Winde Surhoff, a national swim team member and multiple-time collegiate All-American? Polly was and still is a remarkable swimmer, the article should have mentioned her. No doubt they'll do a little digging and an update to add more about her. Many of her times from the mid early to mid 80's still stood in UNC's all time top 10 list (from February 21, 2004) including a #1 rank in the 400 IM with 4:11.32. Her 400 IM school record stood until 2009 when Tar Heel Laura Moriarty went 4:10.85, (my guess is she wore a much better suit.) (Season Statistics) my guess her 1984 swim is still ranked 3rd just behind: 1. Laura Moriarty 4:07.66 & 2. Cari Blalock 4:09.01 Here's some more about Polly.
