Questions juniors should be considering:
What academic majors interest me?
Can I score in Conference Championship Meets
Do I want to be among the fastest swimmers on the roster as a freshman or work my way up?
Where do I fit academically based on GPA and SAT/ACT scores?
During junior year, swimmers should:
Demonstrate interest to coaches at programs that are a good fit
Know NCAA and NAIA recruiting rules covering when coaches can have contact with swimmers
Take unofficial visits and college tours
Narrow down list of schools to consider
List questions to ask coaches
Understand the differences between Division I, II, III, NAIA and NJCAA
