[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]

Not sure we need to come out and slander a 56.Xx girl. At 95% of high schools this girl will be a key scorer and swim the 400 freestyle relay. I would say this can swim at most D3 schools. The highest end D3 schools like a Dennison probably not, but there are thousands of D3 schools and all but like 25 of them take anyone they can get who is decent. Nothing wrong with being an above average hs age swimmer even if this time is not that of a superstar.[/quote]

College swimming is a lot more competitive vs that. You have to be in the top 2-3% of all swimmers for D1 and top 7% for D3. Most schools do not have swim teams.
Total number of colleges
D1  363
