From NIL opportunities to roster limitations and shifting recruiting strategies, many families were navigating an increasingly complicated system without much guidance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1778\" data-end=\"2007\">Today, Curry works with swimmers and families through both group coaching and individualized recruiting plans designed to help athletes better understand the recruiting process and approach it with clarity and confidence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2009\" data-end=\"2217\">Unlike large recruiting platforms that rely heavily on automated messaging and generic athlete profiles, One Lap Ahead focuses on individualized guidance tailored to each swimmer\u2019s goals, level, and timeline.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2247\">Services and topics include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2578\">\n<li data-section-id=\"dn2fk0\" data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2300\">Understanding NCAA, NAIA, and division differences<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1eclebb\" data-start=\"2301\" data-end=\"2349\">Evaluating realistic athletic and academic fit<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"2usuve\" data-start=\"2350\" data-end=\"2380\">Building target school lists<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"9yu4bw\" data-start=\"2381\" data-end=\"2424\">Mock coach-interviews and communication preparation<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"gc7pmt\" data-start=\"2425\" data-end=\"2471\">Preparing for official and unofficial visits<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"rw740u\" data-start=\"2472\" data-end=\"2529\">Understanding roster dynamics and scholarship realities<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"nj18l5\" data-start=\"2530\" data-end=\"2578\">Developing recruiting strategies and timelines<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"nj18l5\" data-start=\"2530\" data-end=\"2578\">Exposure opportunities to a network of collegiate coaches across all divisions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2755\" data-end=\"3038\">In addition to individualized coaching, One Lap Ahead recently launched a 6-week College Swimming Recruiting Cohort, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onelapahead.com\/recruiting-accelerator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recruiting Accelerator<\/a>, a small-group program designed to help swimmers and divers learn how recruiting works, evaluate schools effectively, and communicate confidently with college coaches.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3040\" data-end=\"3237\">Curry also regularly shares recruiting education, NCAA updates, and college swimming insights through her social media platforms to help keep families informed as the landscape continues to evolve.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #f80; color: #fff; padding: 12px 20px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 5px; font-weight: bold;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onelapahead.com\/?utm_source=swimmingworld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Start Your Plan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Email: <a class=\"decorated-link cursor-pointer\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"3326\" data-end=\"3348\">peyton@onelapahead.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In partnership with One Lap Ahead \u2014 the trusted college recruiting resource for competitive swimmers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recruiting articles written by Peyton Curry:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-unwritten-rules-of-college-recruiting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Unwritten Rules of College Recruiting<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/what-to-expect-as-a-college-swimmer-a-guide-for-recruits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Expect as a College Swimmer: A Guide for Recruits<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/college-recruiting-how-to-know-if-a-school-is-the-right-fit-for-you\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">College Recruiting: How to Know If a School Is the Right Fit for You<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/debunking-college-swimming-myths\/\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Debunking College Swimming Myths<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get Recruited for College Swimming with Personalized Plans Swimming World has partnered with One Lap Ahead to give swimmers and families a clear, personalized path for college recruiting.
