If you are a CSC swimmer and are thinking about college after high school, college swimming could be in your future. It may even be a foot in the door to opportunities that you thought were out of reach.

Here are some links to help you explore your options and reach your future goals. These links are provided as a service to CSC swimmers. If you come across another information source that you think your teammates might benefit from, please let us know and we’ll add it right away.

Here is a sample Swim Resume. To help you get noticed by college coaches, you can help create a personal page on the CSC website, similar to the sample, then include the link in your correspondence with them. If you are a Junior or Senior in high school and are interested in developing your own swim resume, please see Coach Scott.
