Why the College Ceiling lineup differs: 100 Fly SCY is improving fastest vs. the NCAA D1 cut, so it ranks into the top 4 at age 21 even though it isn't in today’s top 4. That’s a real recruiting signal — shows which event projects as the strongest college pathway.

What this means for Mert

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 (649–1094) shows the projected upside through college junior year — useful for "where will I be when it counts most" conversations.

Maturity context: Your late-developer trajectory matters here — make sure coaches understand you're still on the upslope. Bring growth-rate and recent improvement data to recruiting visits.

What time drops unlock D1 Mid-Major

Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 649 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.
