Hey everybody,
I'm the new guy around nowdays, haha not really. But i'm still young and in high school, i don't know if that applies anything to this forum, but i just turned 18 and im heading into the summer of what will be my senior year... I'm from a small town in Montana which would be Sidney... um we only swim about 3 months out of the year and its all SC Meters, swimmers here are aloud to swim 3 events plus relays to be considered scoring swimmers for their team and such... I would really really love to swim in college, but I don't know where to go to get my name out there you know? Federation rules state that you may not swim in meets before June 1st and after August 6th of the season... otherwise you forfeit your right of being in the federation... umm our age groups go by your birthday as of January 1st... so this year i will be a Senior boy, just like last year which is 15-19, me being 18, my times are fairly good..actually i don't know since i've never been out of Montana to swim... but I swim 50 free 25.00 which was at state last year and a State/pool record... also the 100 fly 1:05:02 which was also a state record and the 50 fly 27:52.. and the state record was 27:51 so yeah it was a heart breaker but what can ya do? I'm looking for anybody to help me get my name to college's and swimming out of Montana, because to be the best you have to compete with the best and thats what I'm willing to do! I really don't know if that relates to what this forums is all about... but its what I got! Any information would be awesome! Thanks so much!

hey hey thanks all! Umm to the question above... no, thats the thing with federation rules, you cannot practice before june 1st and after august 6th, so i am strictly a three month swimmer... I have spoken to the coach at UND Grand Forks... and he said that he'd choose a 3 month swimmer with my times over a year round swimmer with my times... the main reason for it being is because only swimming 3 months out of the year doesnt give you that much time to practice bad habits that he can't break... so i dont know.. its really tough though because our family you know isn't as finicially stable as they would like to be and moneys tight...so what can ya do huh? Other then that thank you for all the websites and information... I'm really wondering if anybodies ever gotten recruited off of the recruitme.com.. which is pretty sweet! ill give it a shot! thanks so much for the help guys/girls
