[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has a call with a college swim coach coming up soon. He's a sophomore so this is his first one.

It's a D3 school that might be a slight stretch academically but he would be one of the better swimmers on the team using his current times (which will of course improve before he'd even enroll).

My son had a late start with puberty so I think there is still a lot of potential there.  Our goal is not necessarily D1 - it's for him to find a school he loves. 
We know there is little money in swimming so that is not our concern.

We just want him to make a good impression on the coach AND to figure out if this school could be a good fit. We will of course visit if he is interested.

Any tips for these kinds of calls?

Outside of what has already been said, just have him research the school and team some and have a few questions lined up! Enthusiasm and love for the sport is another thing the coaches like to hear. The times and training are easy enough to discuss.[/quote]
