[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last two posts are interesting. The first link posted above: https://swimswam.com/time-standards-for-2024-ncaa-division-iii-swimming-diving-championships-released/

Says the Div III A cut for the men’s 1650 is a 15:14.69 and for Div I in this link (the second one posted above): https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-swimming/college-swimming-recruiting-times for the top Tier I is a 15:26.10.

NSCA sports does not really know swimming. They are a for-profit company that does all sports. Trust Swimswam.[/quote]

Thanks - I’m still confused. I know the article was released before the swim season, but is it automatic cuts for the championship meet or best times?

Here is Div 1 (not even 3) for the Ivy League.

Here is a div III championship for the 400 IM prelims. Not a single swimmer had that time.

Same meet, none made it at finals, either.

Only the fastest top 4 400 IM male swimmer would have made the Div 3 qualifying time from the link.

So, no, this link isn’t what is needed to swim in college. Its like saying the states cut is what’s needed to swim in HS. [/quote]

Disclaimer: I know very little about college recruiting. I think that the swim swam times are times to swim at the ncaa championship meet. The ncsa times are representative ranges of what it takes to be recruited onto one of those teams in that category. The ncaa champs times would naturally be much faster, as not every teammate is going to make that meet. (Could be wrong but I presume this is why they’re so different.) [/quote]
