D3 swimming covers a wide array of programs from the “powerhouses” like Kenyon, Dennison, Emory to the not so competeitive programs. In GENERAL coaches are looking for swimmers who can “score” at that schools conference meet. Check your times against those meets, most of which have recently concluded. Would you have scored?? Do you think you will be at those times by the time you are a freshman??

In GENERAL teams practice 5 mornings and 4 afternoons a week plus Saturdays.

Im confused by your statement that you have only been swimming competitively for a year. Did you take time off or are you just starting to swim. This could be viewed as a negative with coaches because again IN GENERAL they would like athletes used to the rigors of year round swimming.

If you would like PM me your times and the schools you are going to be applying to and perhaps I can provide some more specific info.

Good luck
