What this means for Sydney
D2/D3 Realistic recruit, peak window.
This is the recruiting window. Coaches are evaluating times within ~6 months of where you sit today. The College Ceiling range (667–842) shows the projected upside through college junior year — useful for "where will I be when it counts most" conversations.
What time drops unlock D1 Mid-Major
Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 667 to 750, 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.
| Event | Current | Target | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 Free SCY | 5:22.94 | 4:54.83 | −28.11s |
| 400 IM SCY | 4:50.48 | 4:24.69 | −25.79s |
