What this means for Caden
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 (607–1158) 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 607 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 Free SCY | 22.72 | 19.49 | −3.23s |
| 100 Back SCY | 54.72 | 46.75 | −7.97s |
