Sebastian Stacey '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming for a large portion of my life and swimming in college has always felt like a must for me, though what I have wanted to swim has varied over those years. Currently I am working on improving in the 200 Free, 100 Free, and the 100 fly. In the past I have swum the 500 freestyle with a best time of 4:59, though last summer I decided to move past that and work on my strength, which has turned my direction to more of a distance sprinter. I believe that by working with a college program, along with formal strength training and conditioning, my times will continue to improve. 

I have worked very hard throughout my years of swimming, and I’d like to think that my achievements such as making it to State and Senior Champs speak to my work ethic. Additionally, I’ve been the captain of my swim team for over 2 years due to my upbeat and energetic leadership style. I also work as a lifeguard, which hopefully speaks for my responsibility.

In college I plan to major in Marine Biology, hopefully with a concentration in freshwater. Not only would this be an active, outdoor career, but it would allow me to contribute to environmental education and bring awareness to current and future environmental problems.

Overall, I believe that I have a lot to contribute to a college community and swim team, and I am very excited for this next chapter in my life!
