Dohna Karabelov '23 Recruiting Profile

I want to swim in college because I know that it creates lifelong bonds and sets you up for real adult life. I love swimming, and being on a college team with other great swimmers would be an amazing experience. Swimming has helped me through all aspects of my life, and I know that it would help me through college as well. It has taught me how to manage my time and balance academics and athletics. It's also given me some of my strongest friendships and taught me lots of helpful life skills and lessons. I'm also a good student, but not just because of my grades. I do take honors classes and excel at tests, but what makes me a great student is my passion for learning. I love to go to school every day and learn about all subjects, though math and chemistry are my favorites. Swimming in college and being on a great team would be an amazing experience and would really prepare me for life. I want to be an engineer, and though I don't see myself being a professional swimmer, I know that swimming would help me achieve my goals academically as well.
