Planning Your College Visit
College visits are common for seniors deciding on where to attend school and swim in college. Below are just a few sample questions that I feel are appropriate to ask. You will gain insight into the college program you are considering swimming for, making your decision easier. Chances are, you will spend plenty of time with the current athletes and the coaching staff around the campus and possibly off campus. I believe being yourself is crucial and I believe that you will know in your heart afterwards or during the visit if you might be a good candidate for that school. Good Luck! If you need to call me with a question please feel free to do so, but enjoy yourself, have fun and just treasure the moment. - Head Coach Eric Wentzel South YMCA - KEY Swimming
