Collin Reed '26 Recruiting Profile

I’m a rising senior at John Carroll Catholic High School. The thrill I get from competing and the constant potential for improvement is what makes me love swimming. My goal before graduating is to be sub twenty seconds in the 50-yard free style, and top ten in the nation by my senior year. I’m basing my goals on my times and place this past year as a 16 year old and I believe it is attainable by my senior year. I’m confident in my ability to improve and achieve my goals. Academically I am doing very well in my junior year and have finished with A's and B's.

I always look for extra opportunities to get better and put in the hard work. I will not settle for less and I will always overcome any obstacles in my way. As a freshman, I secured the position of being a leader on my team and it’s not just because of my times. I strive to be kind and help motivate my teammates while being a good role model. My favorite swims are sprinting freestyle, breaststroke, and relays. In fact, during last 2023's Summer Senior Long Course Champs I anchored our 400 freestyle relay and brought my team from 7th to 4th in our heat. It was incredible and I am looking forward to this summer's relay. 

This past high school season started with my nomination for athlete of the wee. I've won every individual race in the season since my sophomore year. A second nomination for athlete of the week quickly came before my trip to State Championships. I loved competing at States. I made A finals for both 50 and 100 free placing 6th and 8th and improving my times.

This summer I am looking forward to my first Futures Champs in Ocala and beginning my senior year. Please reach out to me via phone. (772)281-7317
