Alym Kurji '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming competitively since I was eight years old. I didn't start taking things seriously until I was eleven. When I reached high school I understood how swimming at a collegiate level is a great opportunity few people get to experience.

The competitive nature of the sport is something I fell in love with at a young age. I believe I have the times and the work ethic to improve and compete at a high level. In my team, I learn from my older teammates while also trying to encourage the younger team members. I am coachable and will listen to feedback while also being a hard worker in the pool day in and day out.

While in class, I've maintained a high average being on the honour roll each year of high school. While training 8 times a week, maintaining good academic standing is something I've always strived to do. 

I would love to attend a university that will not only have a great swimming program but also great academics. I want to find the right match between my goals and a university at the most competitive level.
