Miley Mieczkowski '26 Recruiting Profile

I've been swimming for as long as I can remember, about ten years. I have tried a lot of different sports while swimming and every time I've always found swim to be my favorite. I love to swim, and all that swim can teach me. It has made me determined, patient, and hard-working. I am extremely dedicated to swim and practice; I rarely ever miss practice unless absolutely necessary.  I like practicing almost as much as competing and I never skip practice just to skip.

One of my favorite things about swim is the team aspect, I love supporting all my teammates and also feeling the support they give me. I also help coach the middle school team at my school.  This has helped me develop my leadership skills and taught me how to be encouraging to new or developing swimmers. Doing well in school is also important to me by achieving high grades.  I'm able to apply many of the skills I have gained through swimming when it comes to school.  Time management, dedication and the ability to ask questions and take direction are skills that help me in and out of the pool.  Swim is a very important part of my life and hope to continue swimming in college so I can continue to learn and improve so then be able to experience a college team environment. When I'm not swimming, I enjoy doing things with my church's youth group, reading, and hanging out with my friends.
