Common questions
How are these programs ranked?
We order programs by their roster's median time in the 100 Fly. That's the time a middle-of-the-roster swimmer goes, so the ranking reflects the whole team, not just the fastest swimmer. A program appears only when it has at least 4 swimmers rostered in the event.
Do I have to hit the median time to get recruited?
No. These numbers are a snapshot of who is on rosters this season, not a cutoff. Use the median and the score, contribute, and depth cuts to narrow your list to programs where your times are in range, then research from there.
Where do the times come from?
The actual times current swimmers have posted this 2025-26 season, pulled from program rosters — not qualifying standards or a coach's estimate.
What do score, contribute, and depth mean?
They're roster tiers. Score is a roster's top quarter, contribute its middle, and depth the back of the roster. The times above show each tier at the division's typical program. See how we rank for the full method.
