Nicolas Newcomb '22 Recruiting Profile

Why recruit me? What makes me different? To keep it simple, 5 things.

1: I'm an accomplished student-athlete

2: I am a leader.  I lead my local debate team and have been a founding member in its growth and improvement. I'm also working to become a Co-Captain of my school's Varsity Team next year. Debate has also made me a powerful speaker and excellent at human relations.

3: I maintain balance. The proof is the pudding. I manage a club, swim in both club and school, play 2 instruments, and get good grades. Give me a target, and I'll hit it.

4: I am well rounded. I can swim all but breaststroke at AA level and am capable of swimming well at any distance.

5: I persevere. Regardless of quarantine, I have made significant progress on my swimming, even dropping times.  I've also maintained my grades, and I took my SAT recently. If being locked out of both school and the pool for a while didn't stop my progress, I can't expect much will.

Swimming is an elemental part of my life, and I wouldn't give it up for the world. I plan to continue swimming in college, regardless of the amount of work it may involve.

I've many goals yet, and I'm not the type to drop them. 

Thank you for your time!
