Hey! I’m Pierce McShane, and I created this website to help swimmers (and their families) feel more informed and confident about the college recruiting process. I also just really have a passion for the sport of swimming.

When I was going through recruiting, I got a lot of different opinions from coaches, teammates, parents, and even random internet forums. It was overwhelming trying to figure out what was actually true, what applied to me, and what really mattered.

That’s why I built this site: to give swimmers a clear, honest, and helpful resource all in one place. Whether you’re just starting to think about college swimming or you’re deep in the process, I hope you find the tools, tips, and stories here useful.

I’ve been where you are, and I know how confusing it can be. My goal is to make this journey a little easier, one lap at a time.
