Parker Tanke '23 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to continue my growth as a student athlete. I am interested in majoring in exercise science and becoming a physical therapist. I would like to swim at the collegiate level since college swimming is the next level of swimming for me.  I want to swim among the best swimmers pushing me to grow as an athlete and as a person. Swimming has been a big part of my life teaching me the importance of balancing time between sports and academics.  In practice and at swim meets, my teammates and I challenge each other, pushing ourselves to our absolute best. I am coachable and appreciate advice given from my coach to improve my performance. I do not take talent for granted. I work hard and bring a positive attitude, perseverance, and dedication to everything I do.  Maximizing my potential means working harder than the next person and doing what it takes to be the best swimmer and teammate I can be.
