[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His parents have the tech suits covered but great suggestion! I think he has a decent shot. He qualified for the USA swim winter nationals, and the NCSA junior nationals, so he’s definitely got some potential- no suggestions for names? Waste of money? [/quote]

Yes, a scholarship counselor is a waste of money in swimming and no, those two things don’t make him a lock in any way shape or form for a swim scholarship.  Don’t even think Olympians necessarily get scholarships. Any swim parent would be thrilled to have a tech suit ‘covered’ so that makes no sense.  It’s a couple hundred bucks you’d automatically save. They can only be worn a few times.  Much better gift. It’s great that the kid has a fan in you, but as an outsider it sounds like you don’t have a great handle on what swimming is really like.

I don't think the two services referenced above would be a waste of money.  They might help him identify the right programs to target in his college search.  That doesn't mean he will end up with any scholarship money. But, many kids are thrilled to keep swimming for free in college. The services referenced above and help him find schools that match his academic interests to the right swimming level.  https://collegeswimmingguide.com/ Collegeswimingguide.com is the one my family member used and we found it valuable.  There is a lot "self help material" available there for a relatively affordable membership fee; and counseling sessions with the owner are also available.  [/quote]
