<p>Could someone who is a on swimming "scholarship" possibly tell me what are good times to shoot for in the 200fr and 100br? I believe you guys swim in 25 yard pools, if otherwise please say. I just want to gauge how well I am swimming and what WP is looking for.</p>
<p>*<strong><em>I know if you get in you have full ride, but who got in based of their swimming abilities?</em></strong></p>
<p>All the results can be found there, assuming you meant the swim team when you used the term "scholarship". ;-) While athletes can be "recruited" by a service academy, there are no scholarships involved.</p>
<p>lol did you read the bottom of my post, I tried to say that, I just didn't know the word for it. I have seen that website, I suppose I should have mentioned that, but say my times are about in the middle of WP swim team's times (that is for the 200fr, I go low 1:50s).</p>
<p>When I was At SLS I think the times the swim coach said that were recruitable were about 1:47 200 free and 58:0 Breast</p>
<p>yah, I looked into swimming, and talked to the coaches. </p>
<p>If you see a normal time on the time sheet, look at the name, chances are, the same person will have a real good time in another event.</p>
<p>I listed my times, which I thought were pretty good, but apparently were not even worth their time for a tryout in beast. </p>
<p>I weas told to shoot for these times if I wanted to tryout. Subsequently, I moved on to try for other athletic oppertunities.</p>
<p>in yards,
50 fr: 22.0
100 fr: 48:
200fr: 1:46.0</p>
<p>just for laughs, these times are all better than my school records, except the 50 fr, 21.97, so I don't feel to bad.</p>
<p>it is unfortunate that I can't swim, as I lettered 4 yrs and was sr. captain, but I look at it as a sacrifice for the Point. I could have swam at some collge definetly, but I want WP more than anything, so I let swimming go.</p>
<p>low 1:50's is good, but I you have a year, train insanely. I had a similiar time, and was a no go.</p>
<p>yea bad news I got injured, my ankles hurt so bad because our coach is having us do these really intense kicking sets. He is planning on having all of us go 35 in a 50m kick by the end of the summer!YIKES!! I can only go 50 right now with my ankles injured. The fastest kid, a sophmoore, goes 37. </p>
<p>Anyways, thanks for the info guys and good luck at the beast.</p>
