Answer 1

Yeah, sorry to point it out but those times aren't gonna get you into a Division 1 school. I'm not even a freshman yet and I have times as fast or faster than that.

If you really want to swim in college you should go for like Division 2 or 3. That way, you may not be fast but there's no pressure and it's just for fun.

Answer 2

To be honest with you, those times would not get you into a division 1 school for swimming, your best bet would be a lower division.

Answer 3

That doesn't stack up very well. national D1 qualifying times for 2008 are:

47.09  100fly.

53.60  100 breast.

1:46.09  200 IM.

1:57.09 200 breast.

good luck.
