SwimDad99: While your comments about Brown are certainly correct, they don’t accurately reflect the recruiting standards at HYP. Since the OP had just emailed Harvard and had mentioned Stanford, I wanted to share my children’s experience. One of my children had very strong academics and had best times that might have placed her in 2 Ivy A finals and she was fast enough to make B finals in more than one event.
She reached out to Stanford, but there was no interest. Although she was recruited by at all 8 Ivy teams, I don’t know if she would have received likely letters at all of them. When she was evaluating the likelihood of a spot, we put together a spreadsheet of how many swimmers on each team had swimmers that earned 66 points or the equivalent to three 8th place finishes, 45 points or the equivalent to two 8th place finishes and one 16th place finish and so forth
Eleven of the swimmers at Harvard that year earned at least 45 points or the equivalent of 2 A and 1 B final. I believe that only two swimmers at Brown and Dartmouth earned 45 or more points that year. That’s why I suggested that the OP look at how the swimmers that went to the Ivy Championships did and see how he would compare to them.
Since some swimmers never swim as fast in college as they did in high school, telling recruits that they are seeking 2 A and one B final as the coach at the school that my daughter is now attending said in an email isn’t that far off. Although she is swimming faster in college than she did in high school, she is nowhere close to the best swimmer on the team and is never certain that she will make the Ivy championship team.
