Devin Bakay '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Devin Bakay.  I am currently a Junior at Western MI Christian.  I had been at Muskegon Catholic for about 8 years.  I changed school as WMC started a new program for aspiring pilots.  I am currently taking my flight training and will do ground school this next semester.  Needless to say, I want to be a pilot when a graduate from college.  My mother is a flight attendant and has inspired me in my future career choice.  

I have been in the pool since I was 6 months old.  I spent many years at YMCA swim classes and was told I was a natural breast stroker.  Fortunately for me they never tried to correct my kick.  I love long distance swimming, 500 free, 400 IM and 200 fly, although I do swim everything. 

 COVID really limited my training and swimming since March 2020.  At times it has been a struggle to stay in the pool with all of the mandates, closings, shortened seasons and lack of meets.  I have been determined and at least we are seeing some normalcy.  I have managed to do a few meets and shave times.  I have also grown 2 inches in the last 6 months.  I am hoping to reach my brothers height of 6'4".  

I am a hard worker both in school, swim and my other activities.
