USA SWIMMING'S SCHOLASTIC ALL-AMERICA TEAM

USA SWIMMING'S SCHOLASTIC ALL-AMERICA TEAM

Each year, USA Swimming recognizes its members who excel both in the classroom and in the pool. The Scholastic All-America Team is made up of high school student-athletes who have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher and who have achieved the required time standard in a single event. To be eligible for this recognition, swimmers must have completed 10th, 11th or 12th grade and must be a USA Swimming member athlete. Eligible times must be swum by June 30, 2011 and the application completed by August 1.

Last year, over 1,500 student-athletes made the grade, led by National Teamer and 400m IM National Champion, Dagny Knutson, who was not only perfect in the pool, but posted a 4.0 GPA as well. 

**August 1, 2011is the deadline for applications for SAA for the 2010-11 year. Complete submission of the application, supporting proof of time or performance documents and a complete transcript from the athlete’s high school must be received by August 1st. The program is for 10th-12th graders and awards SAA status for a GPA of 3.5 or better in academic subjects in the recently completed academic year and an athlete having swum a listed qualifying time or participation in the USA Swimming National Open Water Championships or a designated Disability Meet.  

All the qualifying information and submission instructions are on the SAA application which can be accessed further down this page. Applicants are reminded that only one application should be submitted – either the online version or the PDF. Accompanying documents must be mailed to the tabulators listed on the application form.
