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.
