College Swimming
Swimmers can compete in college swimming at various levels--including NCAA Division I, II, and III, or NAIA. Some schools without official programs offer swim clubs.
CAC encourages swimmers to look at more than just the swim program. While swimming can be a wonderful part of the college experience, academics and the overall feel of the campus should be considered first when choosing a school. Check out the following resources to get a better idea of what programs are offered:
