John Mullins '23 Recruiting Profile

Unlike the majority of my peers, my swimming story doesn’t begin until the age of 14 - an age when most of my competitors were interested in shaving fractions off their already competitive times. I spent the vast majority of my first year just getting a grasp on the basics of each stroke - and improvements came in leaps and bounds. I’ve benefited greatly from amazing support from my teammates and coaches that consistently push me to be the best swimmer I can be.  

As of now, my 100 breaststroke time is a 1:04.90, having cut more than 8 second cut from the beginning of this year’s high school swim season - and I am poised to head into Short Course state with a goal of breaking 1:00.  

Even with these improvements, I still have yet to gain a full grasp on all the nuances of swimming - in terms of how good I can be, I’m only scratching the surface. I know that I still have much to learn, and I have fully accepted this - in fact, I believe it is one of my greatest strengths.  I’m fully prepared to do whatever it takes to be the best swimmer I can be, with your help.  While I can’t promise perfection, I can absolutely promise you that as a member of your team, I won’t let you down, and that no matter what you task me with, I’ll find a way to do it - and do it well.
