Bolles Swimming - College Swimming Resources
We are proud of the Bolles Swimming tradition of preparing student-athletes for collegiate success and beyond. We feel it is a critical part of our mission to support student-athletes in the search and selection of a collegiate swimming career. There is an opportunity for everyone and the resources here should help you get started with the process. Student-athletes and their families entering high school should review these resources and open up a discussion with your Bolles Swimming coach about next steps.
While we want to encourage every one of our student-athletes to pursue swimming in college, we also want to maintain our joy for improving as a student-athlete each day - in other words; "keep the main thing the main thing." Here at Bolles our main thing is to be the BEST at getting better! Go Bolles!
In October of 2021 Coach Jake Gibbons and Coach Peter Verhoef discussed the changes in the college swimming landscape including NIL concepts and how this would change college swimming moving forward.
