<p>what is there to know about Academy swimming? im a hardcore swimmer and waterpolo player... with my times right now as a junior i could easily be competitive in DIII swimming championships... will that boost my admissions chances?</p>
<p>and additionally ive been attempting to get into contact with the swim coach at the academy but he has never responded to his email?</p>
<p>
<p>It may, as each sports coach may include a letter in the applicant's admission file.</p>

<p>Your best bet is to fill out an "Athletic Interest" form here:</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>Our daughter received a conditional appointment to the Academy pending getting her medical papers in on time. She just completed her physical last week. She has been invited to the bean sprout overnight program?</p>
<p>What is that like? What will she do? She would like to visit the swim team and coach as that was her sport in high school. </p>
<p>They said to bring a sleeping bag. We are assuming she will use it on top of a bed or mattress so she plans on brining a blanket-type bag so it's not so cumbersome on the plane. Is that OK?</p>
<p>Bean sprouts follow around a cadet (last semester it was a 3/c, I think 4/c this semester) for 24 hours. She'll do everything the cadet does...wake up, go to class, go to trainings, go to sports practice, etc. She should have a chance to meet with the coach/team. The reason for sleeping bags is presumably because we were all issued sheets and comforters and it can get kind of cold here at night.</p>
<p>Luigi,
Are there cadets who participate in more than one sport?</p>
<p>Absolutely! You MUST participate in at least 2 of 3 "seasons" during each year (Fall/Winter/Spring) either in inter-company or intercollegiate Varsity sports.</p>
<p>Many cadets participate on two D3 intercollegiate teams. </p>
<p>One of the football team captains, an All-Division senior linebacker, is the starting 1st baseman on the baseball team, and I believe there are even 3 or four 4/c cadets (freshman) from the football team who are also on the baseball roster.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. My son is interested in soccer and swimming. He has contacted the coaches who seem to be genuinely nice guys.</p>
