🚨 Verbal Commitments Aren't Guarantees! Recruits CAN Get Dropped!

🚨 SWIM PARENTS! LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING NOBODY WANTS TO THINK ABOUT!

**GETTING DROPPED AFTER A VERBAL COMMITMENT DOES HAPPEN!** 😳🏊‍♂️

Imagine your swimmer spending YEARS working toward their dream of swimming in college.

The recruiting calls, campus visits, conversations with coaches… and FINALLY, that exciting verbal commitment! 🎉

You celebrate. You announce it. You think the recruiting process is OVER.

**BUT HERE'S THE REALITY… A VERBAL COMMITMENT IS NOT A GUARANTEE!** 🚨

Until the appropriate official agreements are signed and the necessary admissions and eligibility steps are completed, things can still change.

Coaches can leave.
Roster needs can change.
Scholarship situations can shift.
And yes, recruiting offers can be withdrawn.

💔 Imagine being a young athlete who thought their future was settled, only to find out that everything has changed.

That's why we believe swim families need to understand the recruiting process BEFORE they get caught off guard.

💗 Ask questions. Understand what you're being promised. Stay informed. And don't assume a verbal commitment guarantees your roster spot.

**Our kids work too hard to be blindsided by something they didn't even know was possible!**
