Cason Leleux '24 Recruiting Profile

After watching my older brother start to swim his Sophomore Year in High School and really seeing how much he enjoyed the individual yet team aspect to swim and how supportive the swim team family is, I decided to give it a try myself.  Immediately I found that I loved everything about swim as a sport.  I literally dove right in and have never looked back!  I enjoy swimming with both my high school Varsity team, of which I have been a part of since my freshman year, and my COAST (City of Alexandria Swim Team) Swim.  Each year I set my goals and am able to work hard and carry my mindset forward to exceed those goals!  I just finished my Jr HS Season ranked 15th and 16th in the largest and fastest division in our state.  I am now looking forward to the USAA Swim Season and then onto Senior Year and College Swim after that!

To Whom It May Concern: 

It is my great pleasure to recommend Cason Leleux for admission to your program. I have known Cason for 6 years and was delighted to serve as his Swim Coach in High School and USA Swimming at Alexandria Senior High School and COAST Swim Team. During that time, I watched 

Cason grow into an outstanding individual who excels in both his academic and personal pursuits. 

As Cason's Coach, I witnessed his extraordinary critical thinking and time management firsthand. His outstanding GPA in Honors classes and Dual Enrollment classes were particularly impressive, all while continuing the rigorous training schedule needed to excel in the pool. In it he has maintained an excellent academic record, his critical thinking is on display every day in and out of the classrooms and pool, all while managing his time effectively as he maintains his part-time job, studies, and training. 

Cason's academic accomplishments are rivaled only by his personal strengths. His leadership, strong work ethic, and kindness are beyond his years, and he is well-respected by his peers, as well as all those who have had the pleasure of coaching/teaching him. When we have issues in the pool, either about training or learning new skills, he is always one displaying the right attitude or making sure the other swimmers know and understand what is going on. He continually goes above and beyond to make sure his teammates are not left behind on any training we are doing. 

I highly recommend you accept Cason Leleux for your program. I am confident he will make an excellent addition to any program he is accepted to. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding his character or past academic work. 

Sincerely, 

Chris Chelette

Dear Sir: 

November 1, 2022 

I am thrilled to provide a letter of recommendation for Cason Leleux. Being a retired teacher, coach and administrator, I am always honored to write a letter of recommendation for some of my students or athletes. Cason is no different. 

Cason has been swimming for me for four years now. Seeing him over two hours a day allows me to say I feel he is a very ambitions young man. He has a reason to be; his GPA is 3.6, but 3.8 weighted due the Advanced Placement courses he has taken. The result of this is his rank of 50th in his senior class of 309 at Alexandria Senior High in Alexandria, Louisiana. 

His interests academically lean toward science and in particular, computer engineering. His parents are graduates of Auburn University and he has a brother on scholarship at Georgia Tech. He has not told me where his interest lies for college; however, I feel he may be interested in either of these two fine schools. 

Most importantly, I feel he is the kind of strong student who will stay in college and actually graduate. We've all seen young folks go to college for a while and then leave. He comes from a very successful and supportive family. This is one of the main things that encourages our youth to be good students and examples to their peers. So, I feel he can be successful. 

For these reasons, I fully recommend Cason for admission to your institution. Should you have 

any questions at all, do not hesitate to contact me. 

Sincerely, 

Coach Wally Fall
