Typically at this point (class of 2022) the swim coaches are still trying to land the top guys. As the process goes on and they miss on their top targets they will look to fill the roster with guys that aren’t as fast. Unless you are a top target the recruiting process can go well into your senior year. A senior friend of my kid on his club team just committed DII in April of this year. If you look at the list of commits on swim cloud there are many seniors who commit late into their senior year. Also the top kids typically will get the most scholarship money offered. If your son is 4th fastest on the teams he is interested in he has a decent chance of getting a roster spot but he may not be a priority at this point. You also need to look at his events and where the coach may have a hole to fill with graduating seniors or weak spots on the team. As a generalization a 36 on swim cloud should get him a spot on a D2 or D3 team. D1 might be a stretch or a walkon opportunity. I would check on swim cloud at prior years and see where kids with his score ended up swimming and that will give you a good idea of the types of teams that might be interested. Also, D3 schools while they can’t offer athletic scholarships might be more generous with other academic scholarships if they really want him as a swimmer. Coaches also want to recruit swimmers with potential so hopefully his times are still improving. If he can get his score into the 20’s that would open up more d1 opportunities. Maybe he can swim some short course meets this summer? Long course times don’t seem to be as important to coaches. With all that being said, with covid you had a lot of kids redshirt and get an extra year of eligibility so there are going to be even fewer spots and less scholarship money for 2021 2022 and maybe 2023. My son usually sent 2 emails to his favorite schools and followed up if he went a best time or did something noteworthy in the pool. He ended up committing to a mid major D1 in state school and did receive a partial scholarship so that made it affordable for us.
