If you were actually in the mix for recruitment, D1 or D3, you wouldn't be on this site asking this question.

In what swim clubs does recruiting happen through the club? Not RMSC.

Ehhh, sorta. You get recruited based on USA sanctioned times. You can get junior national and Olympic trials cuts at certain HS meets and summer swim meets that are sanctioned by USA swimming but it is HIGHLY unlikely you can get those cuts without swimming club.

Swim clubs provide minimal support with recruiting. Unlike other sports, your times are all documented and accessible to colleges. Some college coaches will speak to club coaches at meets during a swimmers sophomore year but they can’t speak to the athletes yet. Colleges start reaching out June 15th of a swimmer’s sophomore year. They typically reach out to swimmers directly. They speak throughout the summer and offer official visits in September and October of Junior year. Once the dust settles from the fastest swimmers, others will fill in the remaining openings up through senior year.

This year is unfortunately a toss up for the current seniors, between the NLI being gone, the NIL $ lawsuit, NCAA roster limits and changes in the transfer portal. The male non revenue sports are getting hammered.

^ actually I need to check the OT qualifying rules but you don’t need OT cuts to get recruited at most schools.
