<p>Any insight on the mens swim team at Colgate. I know it has not been very strong lately but has an entirely new coaching staff
Trying to figure out if they are trying to build a program since my son is going up to visit this weekend.
Can not believe child number three is looking at colleges lol
thank you</p>
<p>Wow! A family of swimmers! Unfortunately, not a college whose swim team that I am knowledgable about…Have 2 friends children who are happy there…</p>
<p>DD’s field hockey team mate will be there in the Fall.</p>
Visited recently and met with coaches. They seem like great people, and the university is beautiful. They have a well-thought out training program, and have goals to build the roster and rise up in Patriot League swimming. But if you are a male. . .NO SWIM SCHOLARSHIPS are funded for Men’s Swimming. The women do receive scholarships. And Colgate gives ZERO merit $ for good GPA or test scores. So unless you are financially needy, you’ll have to pay $62,500 to attend (full sticker price w room and board).
Not much help here, but I did want to note that one of my son’s USA swimming teammates will be going to Colgate next year. He’s a very good swimmer and a truly wonderful kid.
