David Chen '22 Recruiting Profile

As a child, I went through the normal routine of trying as many sports as possible. Unfortunately, swelling from my flat soles limited my involvement in land sports, however, this allowed me to start swim. Initially, swim was just a way to stay active, but it became more than just that. As my involvement and experience in the sport increase, so did my happiness and passion for it. 

I believe my willingness to be flexible is one of my best qualities and because of that I'm willing to do anything to help the team succeed. I also take my academic skills into the pool. Learning new things, specifically in technique, is something I've always enjoyed doing. With my skill set, I know that I'm easily coached. With that said, I wish to continue my love for swim through whichever avenue opens for me.
