Where am I eligible for a Swimming Schollarship? NCAA/NAIA? - Please help!?

Question

My times are fast enough for NCAA Div. 1. But i'm not eligible because i finished High school over 4 years ago.
I am 22 and am currently in Uni in Australia (my 3rd semester) and have good grades.
I dont really mind which division I end up in or if its NCAA or NAIA i just really want to go over and swim and study on a schollarship! There are all these eligibility issues that i can't seem to work around...
It's a hard one i know.. But PLEASE HELP, im deseprate!

Answer 1

Here's the NCAA webpage with all the eligability info. If you can't find what you are looking for you can always contact them directly. However, as the person above me said, if you are qualified and haven't used any time yet it doesn't matter how old you are, you still have eligibility years left.

Answer 2

there are indeed a lot of eligibility requirements sent down from the NCAA. but since you have never competed for an NCAA member school, your eligibility clock has not started yet. So you should be able to swim for any university in the states that will have you.
