From my two sons swim recruiting process, the coaches and students stay in contact via email every once in awhile. Send coach LC time updates with any drops from recent meets etc. You need to let the coaches know that you are definitely interested in visiting for an official visit in the fall. The coach will reach out to you and ask for your transcripts,test scores etc for the preread. These schools will not allow your student on the visit without it getting done first.In the fall there are only about 8-10 week ends or so before the ED date depending on when your school starts.With swim meets and studies, to go on five, as allowed if all D1, is very time consuming and if D3 not always financially feasible. My recommendation would be to visit and meet with as many of the programs that fit your needs unofficially, narrow it down to about three and go to those officially. Your daughter will know just by meeting coach, looking at pool and campus which programs to knock off list.Main thing is let coach know you want to come for an official visit, he or she will then reach out to you. Asking for exactly when and what they need as their time table calls for it.
Good luck and enjoy the process.
