Swimming applicants 2015-2016

@swimmingman5 Don’t worry too much about your times! Your passion for the sport should come first. :slight_smile:

There is also a site called nepssa.org, where you can review meet results for BS. You can compare your times to them if you would like. I believe all of the meets are in SCY (short course yards), but I will have to double check.

Mine in yards:
50 free 25.12
100 free 55.36
200 free 2:01.28
100 fly 1:02.11
100 back 1:02.90

@catinthehat579 Are you male or female? For a 9th grade female, those are GREAT times, for a male, very, very respectable. Congrats.

I am a female. Thanks. I swim on a USS team and there are a LOT better swimmers than me.

Nice job. Hopefully you have the full package (SSAT/grades) and get into your top school. Good luck.

So how are the results from the numerous swimmers out there?

It obviously didn’t help me much. Heck, I was waitlisted at the school where the coach gushed over me and sent pictures just for me. I was pretty confident about that school, and what do I get? A WL. :open_mouth: @mexusa

Yikes! Sorry about that. Hopefully you are still waiting to hear from other schools. You only need 1! Good luck.

So, any more news from swimmers?

Rejected at both schools, but that’s okay. I’m only a mediocre swimmer (Division II qualifying-type) so I was hoping that passion would have me stand out rather than talent.

@thelittleswimmer: I see you applied to two very difficult schools. Try again next year, adding more schools to the list. My DD is a good swimmer, but not Olympic bound or anything close. Good luck and keep swimming!

oops. I did not apply this year, I am applying next year. I didn’t realize this was for this year. I haven’t decided if I will swim in BS or do Nordic skiing (similar type of work, fascinated by it, and Im not sure Im still as in love with swimming as I used to). I hope people will try again but this time pick more and a wider range of schools if they didn’t get in. Hidden gems! Hidden gems!

So, who is swimming for whom?? You will all meet up in the pool… My DD will be swimming at Choate.

@mexusa‌
Really? same. I am swimming for choate next year. Which grade is she next year?

9th (3rd form). She is a breaststroker, IMer and is improving her backstroke, so who knows. What about you? If you want, she could PM you tomorrow.

@mexusa‌ Yea. I do not think it is smart to tell personal stuff in public lol. Im a guy. I am a sprinter. I would love to talk to your DD :slight_smile:

@madswimmer132‌ @mexusa‌ I just noticed that you guys will be swimming for Choate next year! I’m a current swimmer on the team and I would be happy to answer any questions you guys might have :slight_smile:

if any swimmers have a spare minute on their hand, could you fill out a survey?

Done :smile:
