Rebecca Martin '20 Recruiting Profile

I began swimming when I was 7 years old, and I immediately knew this sport was going to influence my life in a big way.  Swimming has helped me learn many valuable lessons, such as managing time and dealing with failure. Through the sport of swimming, I have become a hardworking, determined, and dedicated individual. This sport has taught me that you do not have to be the best, but you do have to work the hardest. I believe in working hard and waiting to see the hard work pay off. 

I am currently a rising Junior at Byrnes High School and I am looking forward to learning even more through school and swimming these next two years before college. I aspire to go to a college not only for swimming, but also for my academics. One of my biggest goals is to go to a big school and be able to swim and pursue my preferred major of Sports Medicine. I would like to go to a school with an accepting atmosphere where I can continue to learn valuable life lessons. I am confident I will leave a meaningful impact on any school I choose to go to, because of my personality and drive to work hard.
