A question about NCAA policies regarding taking a year...
Former Member
between high school and college as an athlete....If a swimmer was approached by a coach with the suggestion of waiting a year before going to college to try to make Olympic trials/improve swimming for better chances at going to a better college/swim program would this be a good thing? Have you ever heard of such a thing? I don't know anything about it and am trying to research it. Thanks.

I believe your right Kirk, Im not sure on how all the rules work. But I believe if its possible, depending on what coach told you to take a year off, you can reshirt your first year and still maintain 4 years of eligibility. I know this is a very common practice for the elite NCAA swimmers to do during an OT year.
