I was talking to a friend of mine who went to a private school with a football scholarship and he told me that they had players even in their late 20s and early 30s.I was wondering, how getting a swimming scholarship works as far as age.Obviously you have to be good to ba looked at in the first place, but then what if you are good but "old", like 25 and after.Not that I am looking for one(I couldbn't with my level of swimminf anyways) but I am just really curious ...And then how "bad" a swimmer can you be and still get a scholarship ... again, just curious :-)
College swimming age limits are stupid. My friend on my college team had to quit college swimming because he turned 25 or something. But, football players can play in their late 20s I think. My friend was from Europe and they tend to go to college in the states at 20 or something. I am 27 and I should be able to do 3 years of college swimming but I can't due to the age limits. Then again, did the NCAA change that rule. Yet, then again, can you be eligible if you are doing a Masters Program at a college, just curious.
