So this link was really interested. Saying that the split scholarships even though it is assuming full rides, when in reality only a third was being given.

Jealousy, pettiness, meanness, and probably a short swimmer

Does height factor in for college swimming? I thought times were the only thing that mattered.

I think the OP’s reference to height was a response to the comment that coaches may see more potential for improvement in kids who are not fully grown when recruited (boys more often than girls).

You mean to note that a “fully funded” can not give all swimmers anywhere near a full ride. That is correct. More money for girls, but still almost never full tuition.
