Myles Marshall '15 Recruiting Profile

My dream is to one day be able to swim for a prestigious college as well as major in Prelaw or Political Science and become a Corporate Litigator or a Business Litigation lawyer.  When I first started swimming my freshman year; two years ago, I was the slowest person on the team. That was to be expected when you've never swam competitively a day in your life. I was actually pretty ashamed of how slow I was so i took it upon myself to get faster.I asked my coaches on my high school team how i should go about getting faster. That summer I joined a summer league known as the Long Branch Water Wizards. When i was on that team, i was the slowest 14 year old in the 13-14 age group. While i was on the team my mom met a parent of one of my fellow teammates and she told my mom about a swim team that really focuses on their swimmers. It is known as DC Wave. This is my year round team and i have been swimming on it since i was 14. I've only been on the team for one year and i have made great strides on the team. In the beginning of the swim season, I was the slowest person on the team yet again, but to everyones surprise I began to get faster and faster everyday. I started off the season in October with a time of 34 seconds for my 50 free and by March i was going 25.58 seconds. As well as going as 1:18 for my 100 free in October, I now go a 58.70. I am committed to getting faster and stronger and defeating the competition. I am looking for a college that has a good Pre-Law or Political Science program and suits my needs as a students and has teachers that actually care about their students instead of just assigning homework and moving on with their lives. I need to be able to sit down with my professors and have some one on one conversations about what we are learning.
