I have had a rather successful swimming career since I began High School, winning a regional championship my freshman and sophomore year. I always have sought to compete at the highest level of anyone on the team and I have worked hard in order to make that a reality. This as also allowed me to take up a position of leadership on the team, despite not being at the age to be a captain.
I think that it is important that I have done a good job of keeping a solid balance between swimming and other parts of my life. I strive to do my best in school and I take up other extracurricular activities such as football and drama. Football especially has had a great impact on me, teaching me what it truly means to be part of a team, whether as a leader or an underclassmen doing everything he can to help the team succeed.
I am looking for a program that that I know my personal talents can help out, but will also be a good fit for my academic level. I believe that not only do I have the talent to compete at the college level of swimming, but the determination to work as hard as I need to in order to make an impact on your program.
