Why the College Ceiling lineup differs: 100 Free SCY, 100 Back SCY are improving fastest vs. the NCAA D1 cut, so they rank into the top 4 at age 21 even though they aren't in today’s top 4. That’s a real recruiting signal — shows which events project as the strongest college pathway.

What this means for Ethan

Foundation years. Focus on broad event development.

Your swimmer's Current rating is 339 (Early Career). College coaches don't look at age-13 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 Building Base

Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 339 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.
