Nina Kurtzweil '20 Recruiting Profile

Having grown up in a boating family, I have always enjoyed the water and learned to swim as an infant. In my early years I was exposed to many sports from swimming, baseball, basketball, gymnastics, track, cross country, tae kwon do, and dancing. I learned many skills and the value of team work. I quickly gravitated to swimming and began to focus on competing for both a recreation summer team and a year-round ymca team.  Over the last 10 years my coaches helped me develop each stroke, but breaststroke was an easy favorite of mine. I realized that with hard work and dedication I could overcome many obstacles and achieve my personal goals to qualify for YMCA Zones and the OHSAA State Meet. I am looking forward to finishing my senior year strong on both the varsity swim and cross country teams.

It is my dream to be part of a college swim team and take my skills to the next level.  I am looking for an opportunity to contribute and push the team to great success. I enjoy being around teammates who can challenge and motivate each other. I am excited to learn more as a college swimmer and student.
