Austin Elliott '22 Recruiting Profile

I started swimming when I was in 7th grade. I felt like I got a late start in the sport,  but I instantly realized that swimming was my passion and I worked hard to become competitive. I was looking for something I enjoyed and nothing has ever clicked like swimming did, so I joined a swim club. I feel my best during the swim season. To this day I still get excited to go to practice and still get hyped for meets. It is something that means a lot to me and has a place in my heart that will never go away. I have grown close to my teamates and practices aren't even considered practices anymore.  It is my place where I feel comfortable and where I can be myself. All while doing what I love and I hope that never changes. My dream is to swim as long as physically possible and I am willing to work hard and challenge myself to get there.
