Personal Statement
My name is Eric Gaulin. I am a senior at Belfast Area High School in Belfast, Maine. I am 6' 2" and weigh 175lbs. I have been swimming for the past 8 years and am looking to continue swimming in college. I am looking to study International affairs or Foreign Languages and Linguistics. Swimming is very important to me and I am usually the first person to get in the pool and the last person to get out. I always put 110% into my practice and swim meets working to become the best swimmer possible. I am always looking for advice and ways to improve my times. My best events are the 200 IM and the 100 butterfly but I am a very versatile swimmer and have no problem swimming other events. I am an Eagle Scout and have very good leadership skills and have been the captain of my swim team since sophomore year. My Junior year of High School was spent in Brazil as the Rotary Youth Exchange Student. While I was in Brazil I studied in school, became fluent in Portuguese, as well as swam on a swim team. The size of a college is not important to me. I am looking for a place where I can improve and be a great asset to my swim team.
