How do I market myself to college swimming programs?
  • Students should send a letter of interest to college coaches indicating their academic credentials, interest in the college and best swimming times. A videotape is not necessary for a swimmer, but divers should send a videotape.
    • On the video tape, the diver should include film of one of each dive that she can throw.
  • If an athlete is interested in Division I swimming, it is imperative that she is involved with either a club or a Y team.
  • It is advisable to be proactive. Write to a coach often and update her on SAT's, grades, your training and your performances.
  • A good guideline to see if a coach would be interested in recruiting a student would be to see if her current times would place her in the top 8 at their conference meet.
  • Attached is a list of the top 3 Fordham times for each event in the year that I visited their campus..
