Alexey Khnykin '17 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming since I was five years old. Since I first jumped in the pool, I have aspired to swim at the collegiate level. I know that swimming in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.

I am a very competitive swimmer with the technique and times to succeed at the collegiate level. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working swimmers and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard. I also volunteer at local youth camps and am currently a member of our student government.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and in the pool. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.
