Note to Upper Arlington Swimmers: All High School swimmers must register with the NCAA  or they will be ineligible for Div. I or II university recruitment. Here are FAQ Regarding "National Letter of Intent" 

 Here’s some of the latest from the College Swimming series on recruiting:

“If scholarship is important to your decision make sure the coach knows that right away,” explains Southern Methodist mens’ coach Eddie Sinnott. “It may save you from wasting your [and their] time.”

Hawaii’s Vic Wales agrees. “You need to be upfront about what you need to attend school. If you don’t ask and need 75% to attend the school and then come to find out in November there is only 30%” you’ve not only wasted time, but as Florida’s Gregg Troy explains, you’ve also squandered one of your five visits.

“Be very forward as you will be lead along with hopes of visiting, liking the school and going there without money,” the Gator coach explains. “Athlete and parents should decide very early in the process exactly what they can afford to pay to go to college……or they will waste visits at places that they will not be able to go to.”

What about academic money?

Gregg Troy of Florida warns recruits to "Be very wary of promises of academic aid or other sources." He suggests speaking with representatives from admissions and financial aid directly (if a coaches is involved, he notes, it constitutes a NCAA violation) to get a better estimate of your financial aid packages. Many times these packages won’t be issued until late spring.
