The goal is to help Class of 2027 swimmers and families understand where opportunities may still exist.

How to use this

• Focus on 2027 slack → this is what matters for current juniors
• Positive slack = potential openings
• Negative slack = class may already be full or over-committed
• Use swimmer links to compare your times directly

Important notes (read before using)

• Commit lists are not fully complete, especially for some D3 programs
• Departure counts are estimated based on current rosters
• Power Points (PI) are based on current SwimCloud data and may change
• School selection is based on general U.S. News ranking tiers, not a fixed single-year ranking
• All data is for reference only, not a guarantee of recruiting outcomes

Method

• 2026 slack = seniors + graduates − known 2026 commits
• 2027 slack = juniors − known 2027 commits
• Divers are excluded from departure estimates

How to use this (practical)

• 2027 slack ≥ 7 → more opportunity
• 2027 slack 3–6 → selective but possible
• 2027 slack ≤ 2 → likely very limited

Tip

Click any swimmer profile (e.g.
https://swimstandards.com/swimmer/lanie-tietjen )
to compare your times directly against committed athletes.

Final note

This is a directional view of the current recruiting landscape.
Actual recruiting decisions depend on:

• team needs
• coach priorities
• academics
• timing

Use this as a guide—not a final answer.
