Savannah Rubocki '15 Recruiting Profile

I have always had a passion for the sport of swimming. I began competitive swimming at the age of 5 with the Joliet YMCA Jets and have been with this club my entire career.  It has always been a dream and goal of mine to compete at the collegiate level in the sport I love.  I believe with my strong academic background and dedication, focus and commitment to swimming that I would be a great addition to any college program that offers me the opportunity to become part of their team.

I recognize that to achieve a high academic standard and maintain a swimming career in college that I must be dedicated and disciplined. I have consistently demonstrated these characteristics throughout my academic and swimming career which is evident with my consistent improvement in times year after year and my grade point average.

I want to emphasize the admiration I have for my coach and teammates.  It is important to achieve my goals but also to provide leadership to my peers and the younger swimmers on the team to help them achieve their goals.  I lead by example by working hard at practice and maintaining an attendance rate of over 98%.  I work with the younger swimmers on the team every Saturday after my morning workout to help them with their stroke techniques and building their confidence.  I also understand that winning is contagious and a positive team atmosphere heightens the probability of a stronger performance for everyone.

I am excited to take the step to the next level. I am looking forward to building a new, strong and long term relationship with my future college coaches and teammates.
