A formal hello to all who view this. My name is Brandon Hyde and I have been swimming year-round since I was six years old. I like to think of myself as somewhat of an intellect with my strongest academics being History, Biology, Zoology and other related science. I like to ponder the way humans think, the way our minds work and how we come to conclusions and our philosophies. What I like to think sets me apart from other candidates is not only my swimming ability, but a talent to rally and support my fellow team members, all the while giving 100%. I am also very active in my community. I volunteer with Special Olympics, Daniel’s Hope and a rescue pet charity. I strive to do my best in the pool, classroom, my household and my community. I look forward to pursuing a degree in the field of animal related science or veterinary and I can’t wait to swim for a college team!
