Recruiting information

At Colby we maintain a team of 28-32 women and 28-32 men with an objective of competing well at the NESCAC and NCAA Division III Championships.  With our swimmers improving every year within our brand new aquatic center, we have found that recruits having achieved and/or surpassed the below times are in the best position to help us be successful.  

To learn more about our team and all that Colby offers our students within the classroom, please complete our program questionnaire linked here. 

**In understanding the unique parameters we have all trained and raced within since the early Spring of 2020, if you have yet to achieve these standards, but believe you will during your junior/senior year(s) in high school or by the time you enter college, please also reach out so that we may begin a conversation.**
