GET THE 2019 COLLEGE PREVIEW ISSUE
The College Preview issue is a must-have for all of your swim-fan needs. We break down and rank the top 16 men’s and women’s NCAA programs in the nation, and we rank the TOP 50 NCAA swimmers.
Beata Nelson is our cover feature. She swept the 200 IM, 100 back and 200 back at NCAA Championships last spring, and her personal journey to college stardom will pull your heart-strings.
College coaches shuffled across the nation, and we help you track why and where they landed, plus we feature the top up and coming college coaches making waves and producing big talent.
