Avary Tomic '24 Recruiting Profile

Splish... splash.... the sound I love best!!!  I have been an athlete s long as I can remember.  I have played youth soccer, basketball, volleyball and dance.  Once I got in the pool I knew that is where I knew I belonged. I have swam on club since I was 11.  Once in high school, I swam and played waterpolo on varsity all four years.  I love being in the water and I love competing.  Being a part of a team is also one of the things I love about being in the water.  I am a leader both in the water and in the classroom.  I am currently our swim team Captain and it is a role I worked for and am thrilled to have.  I feel I have the attributes that can positively contribute to a college team.  Discipline, organizational ,and leadership skills are all areas I have continually strived to improve upon each season.  I am coachable and understand everyone has a role to play on the team. I was brought up to  have a "blue collar" work ethic as my grandparents like to say.  My father was a D1 athlete and he always stressed the value of hard work.  I am a listener and analytical by nature and have found these traits help improve my times and scoring ability.  I like to win and am willing to put the time and extra effort to condition and improve my athletic skills year round. In the classroom I like to challenge myself with AP Classes.  Both of my parents were first in their families to graduate college.  I know the value of my education and have the drive and ability to succeed academically.   I have been able to expand my leadership abilities by taking on Board roles and leadership positions in extra curricular activities.  I was recently chosen to be apart of our School's Leadership Academy which focuses on leadership both athletically and academically.  Finally, I was raised to be a kind and caring individual, a trait overlooked sometimes in today's society.  I can be a fierce competitor in sports and a compassionate person in daily life.  I feel strongly I have the combination of athletic talent and discipline to contribute to a college athletic program.  I am open to swim, water polo or rowing as I move forward in college.  I want to compete in the water at the next level!!!
