How does college swimming and diving work?

In the United States, there are over 700 universities offering scholarships to athletes looking to combine swimming and study at an university. As a college swimmer, you will quickly realize there is a difference between being an athlete in the Netherlands compared to being an athlete in the United States. At a college or university, you are not only performing for yourself, but also for the university and the team.

Are you ready to swim and study in the USA?

On average, a college swimming team consists of 15 to 20 athletes which perform against athletes from other university. In swimming and diving, the scores of two disciplines are combined. The swimming season starts in September and ends in March. With the joint performances of the school the team can earn points. However, although you are performing for the school as a college swimmer, you can also qualify for the national tournament individually.
