What this means for Jalen
Foundation years. Focus on broad event development.
Your swimmer's Current rating is 418 (Building Base). College coaches don't look at age-12 times — they look at junior-year times. Track the Projected number; that's what coaches will see when they evaluate in 2-3 years.
What time drops unlock D2/D3 Realistic
Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 418 to 600, 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 418 all the way to 600. The gap from Building Base to D2/D3 Realistic 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.
