<p>DS is a two sport varsity athlete (swimming, water polo, and a year of JV cross country), but his times/skills won't impress college coaches. He plays sports simply for fun. He hopes to continue playing sports in some fashion in college (maybe on the team if he goes to a small school, or intramurals, or a club). Should he fill out an athletic supplement? He already listed his athletic participation on the common app.</p>
<p>It probably wouldn’t hurt, but if it’s time consuming, I’d advise to spend that time on the essay instead.</p>
<p>Filling out the athletic form isn’t hard. The question is: whether it would seem silly to submit swim times that clearly would not be impressive to coaches. DS’s inclination is to skip the athletic form (and submit an arts supplement where he does have something to brag about). Note: his swim times aren’t bad (a 1:16 in the 100 yard breast stroke). He scores points for this HS and rec team. His swim times are just not impressive. DS doesn’t pretend to be a great athlete, just a kid who likes sports (in addition to some other things) and can swim fly and breast.</p>
<p>bump – I am sure this applies to others, too.</p>
