My name is Danny Koenig, and I am a college swimming recruiting expert. After serving as Team Captain of the University of Wisconsin Swimming & Diving program, I spent eight years as NCAA Swim Coach and Recruiting Coordinator, recruiting club swimmers to top academic colleges and universities nationwide.

Now, I guide high school prospects and their families on their unique recruiting journey, removing stress and uncertainty from an ever-changing process. With nearly 20 years of college swimming recruiting experience, I’ll be with you through every turn—right up to the final lap.

I work alongside athletes and families through the entire recruiting journey—bringing structure, strategy, and expert guidance. Together we’ll identify the right schools, stand out to coaches, and secure college swimming opportunities.

I’ll connect you with the right tools and resources, customize the experience around your goals, and manage the details of recruitment so you don’t have to. I’m on your team.

Ideally near the beginning of sophomore year, but really as soon as you’re committed to pursuing college swimming after starting high school. It’s never too early to learn, gain experience, and build cornerstones for success.

Through Zoom sessions and ongoing support by text and email between meetings.

• Match your goals to the right schools

• Provide structure, timelines, and resources

• Prep for emails, calls, visits, and offers

• Connect athletes through my college coaching network

• Manage each unique journey so athletes excel in pool and classroom

I typically support families for 18–24 months—starting as early as the second semester of freshman year, and usually ending with a commitment near the start of senior year.

A 50-minute Zoom call with a personalized plan based on your athlete’s unique recruiting path. Sessions may include education, exploration, email editing, best practices, mock calls, or visit prep. We often use a portion of the time to get tasks done like submitting questionnaires or drafting emails together.

Athletes meet with me on average more than 20 times over the course of their recruitment, roughly a dozen times annually. Frequency of sessions adjust based on grade level, recruiting intensity, and each swimmer’s timeline.

Most recruiting services were built by businesspeople who learned swimming. I'm a former NCAA coach and recruiting coordinator who spent eight years on the other side of the table — evaluating recruits, making scholarship offers, and building college rosters. I know what coaches are looking for because I was one.

That means I'm not guessing which programs might be a fit. I'm drawing on real relationships with college coaches and firsthand knowledge of how they evaluate talent, prioritize roster needs, and make scholarship decisions.

I also work with swimmers exclusively — no football, no lacrosse, no basketball. Every hour I spend is in the college swimming world, which means I know when roster spots open, which coaches are building, and where opportunities exist that other families won't find on their own.

And I'm not handing your family a checklist and wishing you luck. I'm in it with you — drafting emails together, running mock calls, prepping for visits, and available by text when a coach reaches out and you need a response in 24 hours.

College coaches expect athletes to take full ownership of their recruitment. I expect swimmers to be invested, proactive, and committed.

Between recruiting sessions, athletes should plan for 1-2 hours of homework—researching schools, drafting emails, updating profiles—and stay on top of logging all communication with coaches.

Yes. Between sessions I update target lists, research schools and roster spots, and ensure we stay ahead of the game. I’m also available during the process for questions by email or text.

• Freshman year: Soft introduction and groundwork sessions as needed to lay the foundation.

• Sophomore & Junior years: Every 3–6 weeks, depending on recruiting intensity.

• Senior year: Typically 2-4 sessions. Variable based on each swimmer’s commitment timeline

No. My background and expertise is in competitive swimming. This experience gives me rare insight and access to the college swimming world.
