The swimming and diving recruiting platform that emails coaches for you

Email the coaches at programs that fit you. Lead with your best times in your events, or your dive list and scores, include links to your verified times on SwimCloud, and follow up after a week and again after your next meet. Most recruits contact 30 to 60 programs across more than one division.

The best recruiting website is the one that actually gets you in front of coaches. Profile sites wait for coaches to find you. AthleticScholar emails 4,569 college swimming and diving coaches for you from your own Gmail and follows up automatically, for $30/month after a 7-day free trial.

Your grad year, your best times in your events, or your dive list and scores, your GPA and links to your verified times on SwimCloud. Put your most important numbers in the subject line and say why that program interests you.

Coaches' emails are usually listed in each school's athletics staff directory. AthleticScholar has verified emails for 4,569 college swimming and diving coaches, so you can message them without looking each one up.

Many recruits start in their freshman or sophomore year of high school. You can email a coach at any age, though NCAA rules limit when Division I and Division II coaches can reply, so starting early puts you on their list before those dates.

To compete in NCAA Division I you need at least a 2.3 GPA in 16 core courses, and Division II requires at least a 2.2. Division III, NAIA and junior college programs set their own academic standards, so check with each school.

Recruiting services often charge $1,000 or more for a package. AthleticScholar is $30/month after a 7-day free trial, with no contract, and you choose every program you contact.

No. Division III schools don't offer athletic scholarships, but most athletes there receive academic or need-based aid. Division I, Division II, NAIA and junior college programs can offer athletic scholarships.
