What got easier for these swim families

“Honestly, the amount of time this saved us on research alone made it worth it. Trying to dig through individual college websites and program stats manually was turning into a full-time job.”
Frank G.Ashburn, VA
“I'm usually terrible with new apps, but this was really easy to figure out right away. It’s made tracking and organizing our target D1 programs so much less overwhelming.”
Jessie M.Gastonia, NC
“Navigating the recruiting process felt totally chaotic before finding this. It genuinely gives you all the tools you need to stay on top of things.”
Sharon B.Prineville, OR
“We’ve been using it for a bit now and it’s been a huge help. Plugging in my swimmer’s specific events and times to see realistic target schools gave us instant clarity.”

Questions swim families ask

How do personalized matches work?

Start with your swimmer’s gender and at least one event time. Class year, intended major, academics, location, cost, and other priorities are optional, but they make the list sharper. On The Board groups visible results as Strong, Good, or Other matches and explains why each school appears.

What do Strong, Good, and Other matches mean?

These groups are a starting point, not a verdict. Strong means the roster comparison and the priorities you entered line up most consistently. Good means there is enough evidence to keep looking, with a tradeoff to weigh. Other matches means a specific reason keeps the school in view. Open each school and check the evidence.

Do I need an account to see my matches?

You can enter your inputs publicly, but you need to create a free account or sign in before personalized results appear. Your first 3 matches are on us. For $29, paid once, you get all your matches, tools to keep your recruiting organized, and every tool we add in the future. Need a hand or have an idea? You can reach me directly at kev@gettingontheboard.com. If it’s not helping, ask for your money back within 7 days of buying.

How do I know whether a school is realistic for my swimmer’s times?

On The Board compares your swimmer’s entered time with the current roster when evidence is available. The same 100 Free can be in the Scorer range at one school and the Contributor or Depth range at another. It is a starting point, not a promise of coach interest or admission.

How is On The Board different from Swimcloud or SwimIntel?

All three can help families research college swimming. Swimcloud focuses on swimmer profiles, college search, recruiting visibility, and contacting coaches. SwimIntel focuses on recruiting analytics, best-fit reports, and performance projections. On The Board is built around the family’s ongoing decision: turn swim times, academics, intended major, location, cost, and other priorities into personalized Strong matches, Good matches, and Other matches; explain why each school made the list; then carry those schools into a Recruiting List for notes, coach status, and next steps.

What is free, and when would I pay $29?

Your first 3 matches are on us, and saving schools is unlimited. The original first three saved schools have editable recruiting fields; later saved schools remain visible with those fields read-only. For $29, paid once, you get all your matches, tools to keep your recruiting organized, and every tool we add in the future. Need a hand or have an idea? You can reach me directly at kev@gettingontheboard.com. If it’s not helping, ask for your money back within 7 days of buying.

College swim recruiting can feel like a giant research project.

Swimming already asks a lot of families: club dues, tech suits, travel, and time. Recruiting research should not add another big bill. Most of the underlying information is public. It is just scattered across roster pages, meet results, school websites, and government data.

I built On The Board to bring that research together. Start with 3 free matches on us. You can email me directly at kev@gettingontheboard.com if you need help or have an idea for a tool that would make recruiting easier.
