Artistic Swimming provides great opportunities for young athletes considering a collegiate path for education and sport. Some of these institutions also offer scholarships for talented swimmers, and sometimes full-ride support. Schools include Stanford, Ohio State, UCLA, UIW, University of Arizona, Boston University, and many others. 

A number of past Desert Mermaids swimmers have received such support through their collegiate careers. Continued skill development and performance in these organizations can also lead to opportunities with National Teams and Olympics!
