Ruichen (Ethan) Xu '27 Recruiting Profile

Swimming has been part of my life since childhood, shaping both my discipline and resilience. I love the challenge of improving each stroke, always striving to push beyond limits. In the water, I aim to do what others fear, with the ultimate goal of achieving the Olympic A cut.

Beyond the pool, I am passionate about math and computer science and hope to develop niche skills that will prepare me for the technical industry. I bring the same determination, focus, and team-first mindset to my academics as I do to swimming.

As a student-athlete, I am committed, coachable, and driven to excel. I am ready to sacrifice, learn, and lead—both in the pool and in the classroom.
