Lindsey Creek '21 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming for almost 10 years now. My parents enrolled me on a team just so I would learn to swim, little did they know it would become such an important aspect of my life. Now that I am older, I can't imagine my life without the sport. I wake up early in the morning to start my day off with strength and conditioning training and end with a great swim after school. While most swimmers can't wait for taper, I can't wait for a hard practice, a chance to work hard and improve.

I found myself joining Utica Shelby Swim Club at age 9 and have been swimming there ever since. With my supportive coaches and teammates, I have found a culture that I love. My teammates have taught me the importance of encouraging each other on good days and bad. Each set, no matter how difficult, seems easy when surrounded by friends that push me to be my best. When I am not swimming for USSC, I compete on the NDP Girls Swim Team. The program encourages fast swimming and lots of teamwork. Swimming has given me memories that I will treasure my whole life. 

When I am not in the pool, I can be found in school or studying. Notre Dame Prep has challenged me academically. It teaches me how important time management and organization is. I am in the National Honors Society. I would like to continue to challenge myself athletically and academically in college, too.
