Zion Waqainabete '24 Recruiting Profile

Being born and raised in beautiful Fiji, my journey as a competitive swimmer began at the ripe age of 7. Since then, I've been diving into pools, fueled by the burning desire for excellence. Of course, it hasn't always been smooth sailing. I've encountered setbacks and disappointments that have tested my resilience and determination. But I've never let them define me or deter me from reaching my goals. I've had the incredible opportunity to represent Fiji on the international stage, competing at events like the Pacific School Games and the Junior Pan Pacific Games. And now, I'm thrilled to be gearing up for the upcoming South Pacific Games in August, where I'll proudly swim for my country once again. Looking ahead, I can't wait to find a college team that not only pushes me to new heights but also feels like a tight-knit family. Together, we'll strive for excellence, supporting each other every step of the way.
