Sometimes even a 48-hour recruiting visit is not enough to show what the program and school really offer. Social media engagement is becoming a vital part of college programs as it gives a better overlook of what the program really is throughout the entire year in comparison to a short recruiting trip.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For college athletes or coaches from aquatics teams interested in doing a takeover, please send an email to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ashleighs@swimmingworld.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
