Recruiting information

At Tufts University we look to carry between 32-38 women and 32-38 men on our team roster each season. Given this, we’ve found it helpful to share times that would put a swimmer in a good position to join our program. Listed below are times that need to be achieved it order to receive consideration for our roster (any swimmer interested in walking-on our team needs to have achieved at least one of the time standards below). While achieving any of these times does not guarantee a roster spot on our team, it does put a swimmer in a good position for consideration. If your current times land outside this range, yet you feel that you have the potential to surpass many of these times during your junior or senior year season, we’d be interested in communicating with you. We do accept LC time conversions and typically use the tools on USAswimming.org.. If you have any questions regarding this process please contact our coaching staff.

Large 4-year, highly residential (confers bachelors degrees, FTE enrollment over 9,999, at least 50 percent of degree-seeking undergraduates live on campus and at least 80 percent attend full time).
