<p>Low scores for HYP and even Brown but IDK swimming may help you out. I don't know much about the whole athlete recruitment process</p>

<p>What are some of your best times. I'm a swimmer too.</p>

3

<p>1:03.29 in 100 Breast
2:21.01 in 200 Breast
53.12 in 100 Free
1:57.04 in 200 Free
2:11.87 in 200 IM
I probably wouldn't be on the travel team until Junior or Senior year, but I really enjoy swimming. The only place I wouldn't do it is Northwestern.</p>

4

<p>We talking short course/long course and yards or meters.</p>

5

<p>if you're talking about short course yards you don't have much of a shot at being recruited. i have similar times (sc y) and someone told me that i should get to like 1:40 ish in the 200 free to have a chance at being recruited.</p>

<p>I'd say no to Brown given scores and ECs. You have a shot at Penn as a legacy but I think even as a legacy not Yale.</p>

<p>If you are being recruited for a team that makes you a go at all. Sorry, lots call themselves athletes whom play a HS sport so I'm not sure where you are.</p>

8

<p>^^^Wow, that's low. Hijacking somebody elses thread.</p>

9

<p>**** yall wannas bees</p>

10

<p>tux0892- who's stats did I jack. Cause these are my real stats, and I posted the same stats in Rice Universitys..So what are you talking about?</p>

11

<p>The "hijack" referred to Mjsax2390's thread (not stats). There is a "netiquette" for using forums. At least the grown-up ones.</p>

12

<p>^ I'd have to agree. Start your own thread for your own stats.</p>

13

<p>yeah man. you don't just go and post your stats on somebody else's thread.
