Charles 'Remi' Romano '22 Recruiting Profile

My dream is to build a strong reputation in business as a well-rounded Commercial Realtor/Architect. I like to tour houses and buildings everywhere I go,  so that I can quaff every glass of mysterious uniqueness that each destination serves me. They say we remember the past to change the future. We look at the old decrepit homes and where they went wrong to help build better, newer ones.  Through my travel to swim meets, I can obtain further knowledge and culture from different people around the world. With the help of well experienced coaches, my hope is to swim in college championships. The whole "there's no 'I' in team," plays a major role in the swim community so its very important that we bond and care for each other. If these bonds and caring spirit don't workout, then our goals of making it to college championships won't work. What makes me... me, is that my parents were not competitive swimmers. My dad was a wrestler and a football player, and my mom was a tennis and basketball player.  So my parents didn't think that I was going to be the competitive swimmer that I am. Well heck, I didn't even think I wanted to be a competitive swimmer until the age 11 when I competed in my first county meet. I got a taste of victory that I earned in my lane. Ever since then, I jump in the water 5 minutes early, I give dry land warm ups my all, and I try my hardest at every practice. School is my first priority, then family, and then swim where I give all that I have left at the end of the day. I know that when it is time to practice, I have to drop all distractions and put 110% effort if I want to do well. Walls (obstacles) are the thing that drives me to succeed and never give in to 'not fast enough'. I am Remi Romano and I am built to take on walls and use them to my advantage.
