College swimming and diving Recruiting and financial aid What's the best way to contact college swimming coaches and apply for a swimming scholarship. All the resources and information on this website are free. The majority of athletic scholarships are classed as "equivalency" scholarships and not "full ride" as is the case with basketball and football, sometimes called "head count" sports.
In one way this is good news for high school swimmers and divers. Take women's swimming as an example: The swim coach can divide the "14" swimming scholarships between a larger number of swimmers. Say 25 partial scholarships instead of 14 full ride. |

Women's Swimming
Men's Swimming NAIA colleges offer 16 scholarships for men and 19 for women. NJCAA colleges offer 20 scholarships for men and 21 for women. It pays to be proficient in several strokes and events. The key to the NCAA dual meet structure means that athletes can swim in in a number of events and relays so versatility is the key. Your ability as an "all rounder" is much sought after by smaller teams that have problems filling lanes during dual meets. Larger teams are able to be more selective and recruit more stroke specialists. |
One of the first things you need to do if you want a swimming scholarship is register and be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. Go to the NCAA Academic Eligibility section of our website to see what initial-eligibility standards you need to have.
Consider attending a swimming camp. it could be the best thing you ever did. Most college swimming camps will help you with technical instruction and video analysis from coaches and current student-athletes swimmers that come from from both the men's and women's swimming and diving programs.
Strength training is an important part of a competitive swimmer's conditioning, and while the idea of spending time away from the weight room and the pool might not appeal to you , it really is essential to help build strength and prevent injury.
The Greeks did not include swimming in the ancient Olympic Games, but practiced the sport, often building swimming pools as part of their baths. One common insult in Greece was to say about somebody that he/she neither knew how to run nor swim.
