Leif Bouwman '23 Recruiting Profile

Swimming is now just as exciting as it was when I first set foot in the water at six years old.  I am a dedicated athlete and I have high aspirations.  I love to be in the water, train and compete; and I love to be part of a team.  I push myself in practice and competition as I strive to be the best for myself and my team.  I like to volunteer my time in the summers to help younger swimmers at our team's swim camp.  As my grades reflect, academics are an important focus for me, and I am as committed to working diligently on every detail of my I.B. diploma, as I am to pushing myself every minute I am in the pool.  When I am not at practice, I play multiple instruments; and have been involved with advanced youth orchestras, also volunteering to mentor young musicians.  I am looking for a school which is strong both academically and in swimming.  I know you will find me a valuable asset to both the swim team and the college.
