    Hey, congrats on the state cut — that’s a big milestone 👏 You’re actually at a really good point timing-wise as a junior. A few thoughts that might help: College coaches care much more about USA Swimming than high school High school season is great for team experience and confidence, but recruiting is driven mostly by: • USA Swimming times • Championship meets (States, Zones, Sectionals, Futures, etc.) • Consistent improvement year over year So keep prioritizing your club season, especially long-course if that’s coming up. Be realistic (but open-minded) about levels There are strong opportunities across D1, D2, and D3. A good exercise is to compare your best events to conference championship results, not just a school’s top swimmers. Start reaching out, even if you don’t feel “ready” yet Coaches like juniors who are still improving. Keep emails short: • Grad year • Best events/times • Link to results • A sentence on why that school interests you Even if they don’t reply right away, you’re getting on their radar. Trend matters more than one big swim Coaches love seeing steady drops over time. Consistent improvement is often more attractive than one early fast time. Talk to your club coach Let them know college swimming is a goal. They’ve been through this before and often have direct relationships with college coaches. One other thing that might be useful — if you create a free Swim Standards account and claim your swimmer profile, there’s an optional “Get Recruited to College” opt-in. If you choose to opt in, you can share your profile with Swim Standards’ trusted recruiting partner, Streamline Swimming, to get recruiting resources and guidance. Totally optional, and you’re always in control of whether you use it or not. You’re already doing a lot of the right things by asking these questions now. Keep building, keep improving, and good luck this season — congrats again on states!

    Hi everyone, I’ve been following this thread with great interest as a competitive swimmer, and I wanted to share my own experience with hydration and energy management over the past few months. I train twice a day, six days a week, and last summer I started struggling with cramping and fatigue during long practices — especially in the afternoon sessions. I was drinking water constantly, but by the end of harder sets I still felt drained and had slow recovery between sessions. Around three months ago I decided to try adding an electrolyte supplement to my routine after a teammate recommended it. I chose Nutra Harmony Electrolyte Tablets because the formula focused on the key electrolytes that swimmers lose in sweat (sodium, potassium, magnesium) and they were easy to take before and after practices. You can check them out here: https://nutra-harmony.com/products/electrolyte-tablets What I noticed over time was: Better hydration during long practices — I wasn’t feeling that “empty” tired feeling halfway through sets Fewer muscle cramps during and after workouts Improved recovery between morning and afternoon sessions, so I felt fresher for the second session I usually dissolve a tablet in about 16–20 oz of water and sip throughout the workout. On longer or tougher days I drink another serving afterward. Of course, everyone’s body is different, but for me this was a simple addition that actually made a measurable difference in how I felt and performed week to week. Happy to answer any questions about how I use them!

    Thanks for posting this. Colorado State Championships always end up being a long couple of days, and having results in one place makes it much easier to follow how everyone did. I remember meets like this where some events were posted right away and others took a while, so it’s good to see updates coming in. Also impressive depth this year — a lot of fast swims across multiple classes. You can really tell how much the level keeps rising season after season. Appreciate everyone who’s helping keep the results organized here.

    This is a cool idea — there are definitely a lot of swimmers here who would appreciate good technique and race breakdown videos. I’ve learned a ton from YouTube channels that focus on specific strokes and pacing, so anything that helps break down drills or starts/turns would be great. Also, if you ever do videos on training routines or how to manage long practice days, I think a lot of people here would find that super useful.
