Interviews
Club- Rick Curl (Curl-Burke, VA/DC/MD)
College- Mark Davin (American University, DC)
"What is the best piece of advice you offer your swimmers during their junior years?
RC: They have to be focused. Don't take a huge load of classes and really focus on your swimming. The numbers that you put up in the pool are going to be the ones that the coaches look at. Your senior year isn't even going to be considered because you will hopefully decide where you will go before November, and before November, there are no fast competitions. They also look at your GPA, so you have to keep that up. I don't think that you need a ton of AP classes-you need good grades. A 4.0 is outstanding and attractive regardless of schedule or courses. So, junior year be focused, have your best swimming times, and excel and improve academically. "
