    Div 1 Womens Swimming and Diving Programs are allowed to have 14 scholarships Div 1 Mens Swimming and Diving Programs are allowed to have 9.9 scholarships This makes recruiting quite challenging for schools. Each year a D1 mens swimming & Diving program has around 2.5 scholarships to divvy up. Pretty much everyone on the mens team has partial scholarships, except for walk ons. I believe Books count as a 1% of a scholarship. Most of the womens team are on full scholarships. If an athlete receives a partial scholarship, then the school's academic admission standards for that athlete shift from whatever the school requires to the NCAA minimum standards which is a sliding scale that looks at the students GPA & SAT score. The higher the students GPA the lower the required SAT score. The 2010-2011 Guide for the College Bound Student Athlete shows the scale on page 6. As an example UT is pretty tough to get into, most students need to be in the top 10% of their classes to be accepted. Plus high school classes tend to shrink due to drop outs. I think my son's class started with over 500 students his fr year and but by the first semester of his sr year there were around 325. How can most of the women swimmers have full scholarships when the roster size is typically double the number of scholarships? Perhaps 1 or 2 superstars have a full or near full, but I have been told that in Div 1, most are still partial. I know a diver offered a full at Iowa St this fall but she declined it for a different school.

  • Also, this happened a few minutes ago in the 200 ***: 16 Steel, Kevin FR ARIZ-AZ 2:02.80 2:14.21 1 24.94 53.58 (28.64) 1:34.80 (41.22) 2:14.21 (39.41) Mr. Steel slightly improved his already-impressive 100 *** time from last night and with that he also improved his chances of getting an invite to NCAA's. Now look at his 3rd and 4th 50 splits, where he's warming down and just making sure to finish the event legally. See those times? OK. I did this 2 weeks ago: 1 Guy, That 2:37.96 36.46 1:17.90 (41.44) 1:58.45 (40.55) 2:37.96 (39.51) My race-pace breaststroke is the same speed as his warmdown breaststroke! :bow:
