What this means for Zakk
Building toward recruiting peak — currently Early Career.
Recruiting conversations start in earnest at the end of sophomore year (NCAA contact rules let coaches reach out June 15 of sophomore year for most sports including swimming). Your projected rating (342 → Early Career) is the more meaningful number for that window. Continue building broad event coverage — the top-4 weighting rewards multiple strong events.
What time drops unlock Building Base
Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 266 to 400, holding the other three events fixed. Only physiologically reachable drops (≤15% per event) are shown. In practice swimmers improve across multiple events at once, so real progress will lift faster than these single-event deltas suggest.
No single-event drop within reachable bounds gets 266 all the way to 400. The gap from Early Career to Building Base closes through broad improvement — multiple events moving together. That’s exactly what college coaches want to see; specialists rarely make this jump on one event alone.
