About
Athletic fit and college cost, in one clear view.
Lane3 is a college-swimming planning platform for student-athletes and their families. Nobody hands you a map. Families find out about the June 15 contact date after it passes, learn swimming scholarships are split into fractions after someone has already said full ride or nothing, and get an aid letter they can't compare to any other aid letter.
Lane3 puts the timeline, the honest numbers, and the aid picture in one private place — and says plainly when a figure is an estimate.
What Lane3 does today
- A private athlete profile: grad year, school, academics and best times by course.
- A “Where you fit” estimate that compares your times to general recruiting reference ranges for D1, D2, D3 and NAIA.
- A grade-by-grade NCAA recruiting timeline you check off as you go.
- A target school list with estimated family cost, coach-contact status and visit tracking.
- An AI-written aid and scholarship strategy built from your own quiz answers, profile and times.
- Plain-English public guides on scholarship limits, timelines and real college cost.
What it doesn't do yet
Better to say this up front than have you find out later. Lane3 does not verify times against USA Swimming, does not pull live rosters, coach contacts or official school cost data, does not contact coaches for you, and does not send weekly automated plans. The school list is a starter list, not every program in the country. Division fit is an estimate from general reference times, not an official standard — the NCAA and NAIA don't publish recruiting cuts.
