TYDE TO COLLEGE

You CAN swim in college!

Attention TYDE swimmers!!  College is not far away even if you are in 8th or 9th grade, start to prepare now. If you have ever thought about continuing your swimming career in college we invite you to view the TYDE zoom presentation: You CAN Swim in College! and find other resources and links availble exclusively to TYDE Team members on the TYDE to College Resources page.
 
Our goal is to help our TYDE swimmers understand that the right college or university is out there if you want to swim and TYDE would like to help you get there!
 
Learn how to start planning your college search - or how to continue to find the best fit for you.  With your best times in hand and the right tools & planning, deciding that you want to swim is half the race. The presentations and resources available on our TYDE to College Resources page will look at 9th through 12th grade and what you can do to move forward toward completing recruiting questionnaires, contacting college coaches all while putting your best foot forward.
