During the past several years, the Carthage men's and women's swimming teams have experienced unparalleled growth and success.  That has made Carthage a highly-desirable place to swim, but also means that not everyone on the team will have an opportunity to practice and compete. 

The times listed below will give you a good indication of what we look for in recruits.  The first column lists the time needed to qualify for the 2008 NCAA Championships.  The second column is the time typically needed to final at our conference championships and the third is the minimum of what we look for in our incoming freshmen.  If you do not have these times out of high school, we will still consider you on a try-out basis and in fact, we've had such swimmers become All-Americans,
