Personal Statement

Hi, My name is Zachary O'Connor and I am a club swimmer graduating in 2021. I have been competitively swimming since 2011 and aspire to swim Division I in college.  I maintain a 4.0 GPA and take my academics very seriously. I plan to major in Architectural or Structural Engineering.  What sets me apart from other athletes is I am not at my peak of athletic capability. I am about to start with my 4th head coach in the span of five years and have learned to adapt to new styles and ways of coaching. My program does not authorize weight training and we do not have multiple practices per day during the school year. I have been consistently dropping time and usually get a new best time every meet I go to. With the added practices and dry land training, I should drop even more time throughout my college swimming career. I am always cheerful, hard working and a positive motivator for the team. I know that I am not only swimming for myself, but for the team as well. I personally believe you need a good supportive team to succeed and I possess the traits to help make that happen. My main goal is to swim in college and hopefully whomever is reading this can help make that happen for me.

    Thank you,

        Zachary O'Connor

Awards and Activities

  • AwardsGold Presidential Academic Award, Sierra Nevada Swimming Student Athlete Award, Varsity Outstanding Athlete Award
  • ActivitiesI enjoy biking around town to get where I need to go. I don’t bike competitively, but I love to be outdoors biking, hiking, or whatever it may be. Where I live there is one of the largest municipal parks in the United States at 3,670 acres and I enjoy going there to experience nature. When I am able, I enjoy helping in my mom's 4th grade classroom running stations an working with the students. In the past, I have volunteered at summer camps, a local youth group, and 1:1 swim help for technique. I enjoy working with kids in general. In the past year I have begun to take West Coast Swing lessons weekly with my friends. We practice and go to open dance nights for fun on Friday nights. We don't compete (yet!), however it has been fun to learn a new skill.
