Thank you for your interest in swimming at Mines! Due to the popularity of our school and location, we have a lot of interested swimmers, but we keep our roster at an efficient size - thus, earning a roster spot at Mines is very competitive. Here is what we look for in swimmers we invite to join our team - in order of importance:
1. Character. Team culture is THE most important aspect of our team. We look for authentic, kind, collaborative, well-rounded and fun-loving people who get along with with a variety of people and personalities and have a strong passion and love for the sport of swimming.
2. Academics. Do you want to be in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) field? Are you prepared to take rigorous coursework? You must have a GPA 3.4 or above. Test scores are optional.
3. Swimming. We are looking for swimmers who have Futures Time standards (or at least close) in 3 or more events. We are also looking for swimmers who will score in the top 8 of their best 3 events at our RMAC conference meet.
