College Recruiting: Social Media and Early Commitments<\/h2>\n

In the third of a multi-part series, Swimming World looks at early commitments and the way social media is altering (for better or for worse) how prospects are navigating the college recruiting process.<\/p>\n

Recruiting of high school swimmers has become a big stakes game for swimmers and parents as well as high school, club and college coaches. Thanks to a 2016 NCAA rules change, recruiting timetables have become compressed, resulting in a seismic shift in the way players are approaching the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cSophomores and juniors are committing, and kids see these posts online, and it creates an atmosphere that if you are not committed, you are behind the process.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nShe\u2019s not in the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Until recently, the Hall didn\u2019t even have a file on her. Yet for most of the decade of the 1940s, Nancy Merki was the most famous female competitive swimmer in America.<\/p>\n

016 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE MISCONCEPTIONS: SCIENCE IS RISKY<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Rod Havriluk<\/em><\/strong>
\nAccording to conventional wisdom, per\u00adformance\u2014not science\u2014is the ultimate criterion measure. Unfortunately, this ap\u00adproach guarantees staying in the past and requires being satisfied with relatively small improvements. Applying science, on the other hand, may seem risky, but offers the potential for much bigger improvements much sooner.<\/p>\n
