What should I say to swimming college coaches?

im at the point in my college search where I am curious whether or not the college coaches I have been in contact with will support me through admissions, and how they think I will fit into the team in terms of ability.( whether or not they think I’m good enough). Is it okay to ask the coaches bluntly what my situation is, and if so, any advice on how to phrase asking them? I’m looking mostly at nescacs and other similar LACs if that makes a difference. The only D1 where I am in contact with the coach is Dartmouth. Thanks in advance for any advice!
