Definitely time to ask. Simply say, “we are going to limit the amount of OV I take due to a heavy school workload. Can you tell me where I stand on your list of recruits?” Once you have OV offers, its time to ask some hard questions of the coaches. Note–a lot of swimmers accept 3-4 visits rather than the 5 maximum. Our D went on four, first was a bust, second was great, third was the perfect fit and the week before the 4th we called the coach and told them that she had made a decision, and that we did not want him to spend his money on flying her out. He was not thrilled that she did not come, but since she had no intention of attending his school, he appreciated her not wasting his time/money. Some other swimmers found “their school” early in the process, yet did all of their visits because they felt they had to do so. 3 visits is a good amount. These visits are fun, yet tiring and time consuming.
