With a little searching and perseverance, you will find a college or university where you can pursue an undergraduate degree and do it as a student-athlete, maybe even on academic and\/or athletic scholarship.<br><br>It\u2019s also important for you to know that there are college swimming programs across the country that offer great student-athlete experiences for a wide range of abilities. Many swimmers think that if they are not qualified for Junior Nationals, they can\u2019t swim in college. This is simply not true. If you want to be a college swimmer and you are willing to do the work and be part of a team, there\u2019s a place for you. From the NAIA to the NCAA, there are hundreds of collegiate swimming programs for men and women, many of which have scholarships available. Over the past several decades, Lakeridge Swim Team has been represented on college swim teams at a wide array of institutions, from Hawaii to Rhode Island. They have consistently enjoyed student-athlete experiences that have enriched their lives and we thoroughly recommend college swimming for those interested. Going through an undergraduate program as a student-athlete is a great way to go.<br>&nbsp;<br>While there are many factors to consider as you are making your decision, here are a few things you can do to take a proactive approach to your college career.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><li>NCAA Eligibility Center <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalscholastic.org\/ncaa_clearing_house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCAA Eligibility Center (formerly NCAA Clearing House) | National Scholastic Athletics Foundation<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/web1.ncaa.org\/eligibilitycenter\/common\/\"><\/a><br>All swimmers planning on swimming in college must register with the NCAA during the 11th grade.

By this I mean, do you want to go in as one of the best, be somewhere in the middle, or do you want to go into a program where you will need to work your way up through the ranks. Every swimmer is different, so this is an important question for you to address. Now that you are clear on this, go to the athletic websites of the schools you are interested in and look at their swimming times to see where you fit in your best events. You will also want to look at that school\u2019s conference championship results from last year to see how you would have placed in your best events. The list of NCAA Sponsored Schools also lists the conference that each school is in. If you go to that conference\u2019s website, you\u2019ll be able to find swimming results.<br><br><\/li><li>At the beginning of your senior year, after you have compiled a list of a few schools that you think might be good choices for you, write a letter to the swimming coach. Contact information for swimming coaches can be found on their school\u2019s athletic websites, with each sport usually having their own page. I recommend that you also enclose a picture with your letter so the coach can attach a face to your name. College coaches get many letters from prospective athletes, and you want to set yourself apart, be it with a picture, your academic and athletic accomplishments, your best times, or all of these things. Here is a sample letter you might write to all the schools you are interested in. This is a letter written by a former Gold Group swimmer (Alex Weiss). It proved very effective in her search for a university that met both her academic and athletic goals, as well as provided her with the scholarship (athletic &amp; academic) she worked for and needed to make it happen. You will want to make your letter personal to you, highlighting your own strengths as a student-athlete. If you need help composing your letter, please see Sharon. Be sure to also provide a list your best times and always note whether 200\u2019s and above were done at altitude. For example, if your best time in the 500 free is 5:25, note in parentheses that this is a 5:20 alt conversion, as is done on the USA Swimming website.<br><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Swimming World Magazine College Recruit Rankings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">This system was devised by Swimming World Magazine to give swimmers an idea of what to expect in terms of recruiting to NCAA Division I swimming programs in the country.
