[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there is a single answer.  States vary dramatically in terms of swimming talent depth.  Swimcloud has info about how particular times stack up with D1 and D3 teams.

I see. Is there a certain single event that can sort of distill a swimmer's overall talent? I can share that PB time if it helps.[/quote]
College recruiting is largely stroke based, so there is no one event that can give you an idea of overall talent for recruiting purposes. By the time recruiting starts swimmers have narrowed in on their best strokes and events and are focusing there. No one cares if an elite breaststroker isn’t good at fly, and vice versa. [/quote]

I think this is one of the go-to strokes. Is this good?

Women 100 Yard Freestyle: 56.xx[/quote]

I put on a division 3 school into Swim Cloud and looked at their women’s 100 free times. Depending on how many milliseconds into 56 seconds she is, she’d be between 14-16th fastest freestylers on the team. The top 6 are 53.xx and below. [/quote]

Only the top 5 of this particular school were recruited to swim 100 Free (not 100% but it's likely, kids times do change as do their focus events). If your swimmer is in the top 5 of a particular school's times in MORE than one event (preferably 3 from a coach's perspective as that the limit on individual swims for conference champs), then it's likely a match swimming wise. If they are super dominant (common with breast) and top 1-3 for the team and that team needs their points for conference then the coach may be interested even if the other events wouldn't put the particular swimmer that high. Some teams (regardless of division) do take walk-ons but not all or even most. [/quote]
