The 2021 College Preview Issue of SwimSwam Magazine is ready to ship.
2021 College Preview Issue
The 2021 College Preview is massive, coming in at nearly one pound. 2-time Olympic champion Bobby Finke is our cover, the most dominant distance swimming star in the world.
Everything you need to know about the upcoming college season is in this issue. We run our first edition of the Power Rankings, projecting who will win and who will lose based on the data. College coaches shuffled again this year, and we breakdown where they landed and their potential for success. 5th year seniors will make a big impact this season, and we profile the biggest point scorers returning for this unique 5th year opportunity. Who are the greatest college swimmers in history? We answer that question in a massive data feature, and that is only a taste of what is inside this issue. We hope you enjoy it!
