I know that this is a touchy topic for some, but I wanted some help from those that know.
we have a 16yr old on our team, most of his times can be seen here
www.swimrankings.net/index.php
not all of his results are posted, because not all meets send the results to the site. The times from this past weekend are not up yet.
He's a butterfly specialist that can swim free and IM.
LCM times from this past week
100fly :56.24
200fly 2:06.61
100 free 53:95
200 free 1:56.38
400 free 4:05.49
400 IM 4:49.25
anyways, I was wondering what types of schools or conferences would be interested in a swimmer like him.
He's got 3 more years of HS and has has signicant time drops the past two years in the 200 fly. from 2:18 in 2007 to 2:12 in 2008 to this past weekend 2:06.61.

Well if he continues to improve like he is now...Most major players in the NCAA he should/could have a shot at. At this time I would say easily any Mid Major program in the US, he could even be a fit for some of the bigger conferences right now. I guess the major question would be how he can handle short course swimming.
I would say that you should start looking at conference results from around the country and see where he would score, not score, what teams lack depth in his strong events. He still has a ways to go in hs, but its never too early to start narrowing down choices. But as always education comes first, atleast thats what they tell me! :angel:
