Claire Timmermans '23 Recruiting Profile

Water polo is one of my biggest life inspirations. I love this sport greatly in a way that may only be expressed in the water. Words do little justice to describe any passion I have for it.
I strive for a strong, family-like bond with a team and coaches. I want to represent a team with full commitment and devotion. I learn quickly with my mind always being prepared to learn new game skills and my body prepared to become stronger. I can only promise to work hard now, but know that the true fruits of these words can only be shown in practice and in game.

Above all else, I love Jesus Christ and want every bit of glory to be directed towards Him, whether in or out of the pool. He has given me the ability to do the things I love to do, therefore deserves every bit of credit for any accomplishment!

Despite having a very successful senior season with 103 goals, my biggest achievement was the "Ryder Wade Award". This award displays character, discipline, a love for water polo, and competition. The Ryder Wade Award was created in memory of a water polo player at El Modena High School in whom has left behind an awesome legacy.

Another huge passion of mine is mountain biking! I have definitely noticed that water polo and mountain biking go hand-in-hand and make perfect cross training for one another... 😉
