Non-notable college swimmer. Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guideline for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards), nor the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG (insufficient significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources). FYI, there is no specific notability guideline for swimmers, but they often qualify under WP:GNG and WP:NOLYMPICS, but the subject does not, having never competed in any senior international swimming event.

Delete - Per WP:NCOLLATH, the page should be deleted. The individual hasn't really accomplished anything passed the collegiate realm. As Dirtlawyer said, at a minimum, he should compete at a senior international swimming event. I would go further in that the individual should at least win a medal, but that's my own opinion.
