Personal Statement
I am Austin Sparber. I am currently 17 years old and I play for both Miami Palmetto Senior High and Miami Riptides club. I have been to the ODP national championship for the S.E. zone cadet team and I was an alternate on this years team. I need to improve on my swim times tremendously in order to be of consideration to some colleges; which is why I am on my High School's varsity swim team. Also I have had much experience in the sport and I do not plan to stop playing for a long time. I play club year-round and about five to six days a week, and I have attended the Ransom Winter in the tropics Five-Meter winter break training camp with Olympian Genai Ker and the coaches from both Browns and Bucknell universities. The reason that I mention this is because I like traveling to train with the best to get more experienced at the sport. I feel like I am very dedicated to water polo as a sport. Also I try to preform high in school as well, since I am a freshmen and in two AP classes with an unweighted GPA of 3.0 and a weighed GPA of over 4.0 I Think I am doing pretty well. That is a brief summary about me and I would like to hear back from as many colleges as possible. I am a junior and starting the search for a college that suits me.
