Swimming at Yale

<p>Anyone hoping to swim at Yale? (walk-on?) I don't really think I'm good enough to do it, but I'd try if I were accepted.</p>

<p>I want to keep up with my swimming, but I'm certainly not cut out for varsity. I'd like to just keep swimming and get better. I don't exactly know common Yale times, although someone does, and you could probably find them if you looked hard enough.
What do you swim?</p>

<p>omg you guys swim!!!!! what strokes?</p>

<p>I do the 200 IM and everything freestyle (except for distance). how about you?</p>

<p>You can look up results of the swim meets and see how your times compare to the kids who are really swimming for Yale.</p>

<p>Good call whylion.
I swim the 50 and 100 free mostly. And I'm pretty slow. :)</p>

<p>free. usually the 200 or the 100. my dream event, however, would be the 50 IM, but I don't think that'll be approved anytime soon :(</p>

<p>haha, the 50 IM would be awesome! We have 100 IM in summer league meets here, and it's great.</p>

<p>Check Yale's swimming website. It has a page titled "Are you recruitable?" that gives you a general idea of whether or not your times are in their range. I checked and mine aren't, my 2:21 200 breast isn't the 2:10 they want, but I'm working on it. I'd obviously be walking on if I could, but I'm not sure that I can.</p>

<p>hmmm. im guessing those are the pre-taper results. Im pretty sure i can make them if I came off a taper though...</p>

<p>oh wow, i actually am in their breast stroke range (2:09)! i dont want to swim in college though, so it doesnt really change anything.</p>

<p>snap... a 2:10? that's guys, right? our girls' record is like a 7</p>

<p>wait... I was thinking 100, in yards, and 1:07. so disregard that one.... lol I choose not to remember my breaststroke times</p>

<p>I didn't want to swim in college, but I think I'm changing my mind. If I'm deferred EA, do you think I could try and get myself recuited? Girl~ :53 hundred free, :24 50 free, 58 100 fly?</p>

<p>musicnut- I think you have a great shot at getting recruited, but you'd better hurry up about it! you should probably send in a recruiting form asap.</p>
