Alexander Poellinger '17 Recruiting Profile

Hello, I am Alex Poellinger. I go to Centennial High School in Minnesota. I have been swimming competitively since I was 7 years old on the Great Wolf Swim Team. My goals for college are to swim for a division I, II or III college. I am really interested in pursuing a engineering job, mostly in the chemical engineering field. I would be a good candidate for your team because I am hard working, I rarely miss practice, and I am still dropping lots of time. Our swim team is based off hard work and dedication. We hit over 10,000 on many swim nights, and swim in the mornings before school. I really enjoy hanging out with my team and pumping everyone up before their races. For me swimming is extremely competitive, but it is also very fun because of the atmosphere I train in. Academic wise, I am in many advanced honors and AP classes and achieving A's in those classes. It is hard juggling 2 swim practices a day and homework, but I always find a way to make it happen so I have no late assignments. I would also consider myself a leader, in school and in practice. Also, I enjoy spending time with kids as I teach swim lessons at our highschool.
