[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be based on need.  Maybe they need to recruit deeper into the class for a specific stroke/event.

It can be based on volume.  Some coaches take the "throw everything at the bus" approach and see what sticks.  Worst case scenario they have too much interest and start ghosting kids that aren't as fast as other kids responding.

It can be based on a more in depth look into the swimmer.  Maybe they aren't quite there yet but they have been dropping tons of time or they saw the swimmer at a meet and noticed they are a 5'11" female.

Remember, just because you get contacted doesnt mean they actually want you on the team right now or would offer you a spot/money.  It's like a dating app right now.  You save your favorites and reach out to the ones you might be interested in but you'll only need up with a few you "bring on a date" aka the official visit[/quote]

When do they reach back out for official visit? [/quote]

Kids are already being invited to visits setting their visits.  If you haven't been offered a visit by a school, most likely you're not a top priority right now.[/quote]

That’s not true- over the next 4-6 weeks they’ll still be offering official visits.

To the pp that asked, there is no limit on how many schools you can visit, but visits are generally 48 hours long, add in travel can make it 3-4 days of missing school and training. Most don’t visit more than 4 or 5 schools.[/quote]

They'll still be offering visits bit the top priority kids have already been offered.[/quote]

Yeah like the top 50-100 kids but there are so many more slots than that[/quote]
