Personal Statement
My name is Ben Symington and I'm 17 and from Canberra, Australia. I have been playing Waterpolo for about 5 years and have had opportunities to play at State competitions as well as National competitions. I was also selected for the Youth (born 05/06) Australian Waterpolo squad in 2022. This year I was awarded Coaches Player for my 1st Grade team which won the local competition for the third year in a row. Due to my age, I am now only allowed to play in the local men's competition and this will be my 4th year playing in the ACT Waterpolo 1st grade division. I am extremely hard-working and always give 110%. My goal is to obviously go over to the United States and play in college, so I'm doing everything I can to get over there including extra training to improve skills and also working even harder academically. I have started Year 12 (Senior) and am currently studying to get the best marks possible.
