Lilyanna Larson '22 Recruiting Profile

Hello!  My name is Lily Larson and I am a Junior at Edison High School in Huntington Beach. I have been on Varsity Swim and Water Polo teams since I was a freshman.  I learned to swim at 2 years old and haven’t left the water since!  I started out in Swim team at 5 years old and I started playing water polo when I was 14.  I qualified for CIF my freshman year and received the All League Selection award too!

 I’m passionate about the ocean as well.  I’ve been in the Huntington Beach Jr. Lifeguard program since I was 9 until I was 15.  This Summer I tried out for the City of Newport Beach Lifeguards, which was a rigorous physical and academic program and beat out over 100 other participants.  At 16 I was an Ocean lifeguard working the towers of one of the busiest beaches in all of the country.  I was also a junior Lifeguard instructor for the City of Newport Beach and even volunteered for the Sand Crab Program of 6-8 year olds last year and received the Sand Crab Service Award.  I was also selected as part of an elite team to travel to New Zealand in 2019 for three weeks as part of a Junior Lifeguard exchange program where I earned my Bronze Medallion, which is an international certification for lifeguarding.  

I am currently in a Business program at my school which is similar to MUN.  CIBACS (Center for International Business and Communications Studies) is a major part of my academics in High school as I am in CIBACS English and History.  I am looking for a school that has Business or Marketing program that can help me achieve my academic and eventually my career goals.  

I would like to be a part of a team that treats each other like family and play for a coach that helps me to continue to develop my skills.  I am a hard worker and have a very strong work ethic.  I am also very patient and eager to learn.  I’m really looking forward to competing at the college level!  Finally, I'm also interested in a school that has a great campus life as I want to experience all that college has to offer.  Thank you in advance for taking the time to review my profile!
