Hi! I'm 16 years old and am swimming on my high school team. My main events are the 100 fly, 500 free, 100 free. I'm 1:08 in 100 fly 6:03 in 500 1:00 in 100 free I've been swimming on teams for a very long time. I was on a club team for about 5 years, but then quit. I hope that I will be able to be on a college team, but I'm not sure if I will be good enough by then. What do you think? What sort of times do I need to be able to swim in college?

  • What do you think? What sort of times do I need to be able to swim in college?It really all depends on the college you plan on attending. First get your list of colleges you would like to attend and then look at their swim teams, if they have one. Most teams will list contact information and have surveys for interested athletes and many will have posted walk-on times. Another option is that a lot of schools have club teams (instead of or in addition to varsity teams). This is another option to consider and generally time standards for clubs are much lower than for varsity teams.
