Swimming scholarships are a great way to cover college costs, such as tuition, room, board and books. Full scholarships cover all of those costs and can be worth more than US$70,000 per year, or $280,000 for an undergraduate degree. The amount of swimming scholarships is a matter of negotiation and are offered by American college coaches to swimmers they recruit for their college team. In addition to sport scholarships, there are other options, such as academic scholarships, which can be combined.

The swimming season in the US stretches over the entire college year. It starts in the middle of the fall semester with the first college swim events. Swimming teams then take most of December and January off from competition and use this time to focus on training and development. After the conference championships, the best college teams continue their season at the National Championships in March.
College swim teams either compete in dual matches, a 1on1 against another college or team meets with several universities at the event. Individual swim champions are crowned at each event. Colleges on the other hand get points which depend on the position of the competitor representing the school. This fosters a team-first mindset out of a single-sport.
The college swim training is very high-class, and the colleges have some of the world’s best facilities. Current and former professional swimmers, such as Michael Phelps, have used the pools to prepare for the season and the Olympics.
The swim training schedule includes both individual and team session with the swim coach. To prepare the swimmers for an extended and challenging season, sessions focusing on strengthening and improve the conditioning are also included in the training schedule. Recovery and preventing injuries are crucial part of the training, and athletic training are available to all swim athletes.
Many requirements need to be fulfilled to become a professional swimmer. Except great talent, hard work, willpower and money, some luck is also needed. Yet, even if all these boxes are ticked, it still not a guarantee that the swim passion can be turned into a career. Additionally, young swim talents may not have the physical attributes yet to become a pro swimmer.
College swimming is an exceptional option for junior athletes. The college degree secures them professional and academical advantages for their future careers. But alongside the studies, they also get the chance to improve their swimming skills and compete against some of the next stars in swimming.
