Carson Mariman '20 Recruiting Profile

Since I was one year old and I was identified as profoundly deaf, I began to learn how to push, train, and never give up when I want something.  At that time, my coaches were speech therapists and my goal was the desire to hear and communicate with my family and friends using cochlear implants.  By the time I was three, my parents had me in swimming lessons because it was the only place they felt I was at a disadvantage because I could not have my cochlear implants on and would not be able to hear.  They wanted me to be confident and strong in the water.  What they didn't anticipate is the water became MY place.  It is where I go to think, push myself, and conquer.  Swimming is my passion, and I can't imagine a college experience without the water.  As a coach what you can expect from me is dedication.  I understand what it means to listen to critiques, apply myself to what was advised, and put in the hours to get the results.  Focus, drive, team spirit all resonate within my heart.  I want to contribute to a college swim team and environment with enthusiasm.  I am an entrepreneurial spirit who loves to learn and is eager to pursue business in college.
