[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expect the unexpected. Hopefully things have settled down since the ‘25s got slammed.

What level of swimmer do you have? (Sectionals/futures/ summer nationals?) Male or female?[/quote]

How did they get slammed? With NIL? Winter Juniors (but barely). Female. [/quote]

Roster limits were implemented after commitments had already been made as a result of the House v NCAA lawsuit. Some swim programs shut down completely and others cut more than half their roster, particularly on the men’s side. This forced many swimmers that had committed fall of junior year to go through the recruiting process a second time, but most top teams had full rosters.

Women’s roster limits are higher, and fewer women’s programs were cut (due to staying in compliance with Title 9. With winter cuts her options will be more limited, but there are plenty of great programs. Some d3s that rank higher academically are faster than many d1s, so focus on academic fit first.

My other piece of advice, look at which schools cut a good chunk of their team. Auburn could have reduced their number from 41/42 men to 22, but they opted to take advantage of those swimmers in the transfer portal and cut all but 9 boys. It’s just a dirty game now and all about winning, not developing swimmers. Such a shame![/quote]
