college swimming - scouting

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.

    His times are excellent for a high school freshman. His 100 free converts to a 46 SCY while his 100 fly converts to a high 48. I think in the US most Division 1 coaches are interested in swimmers that have Jr. Nationals cuts or better. This kid is close as a freshman. So if he continues to improve I think many Div 1 schools would be interested including elite programs.
