Tanner Klahn '21 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to attend a challenging academic college/university, where I desire to excel at not only academics, but also as an athlete.  I have a very strong work ethic, which I have demonstrated throughout my high school career (and my coaches can attest to), I am extremely coach-able, and always strive to lead and cultivate a positive team culture.  I always set positive examples for my teammates in every arena, whether that is in the pool or in the classroom.  

Even though I started swimming on a club team since age 11, I only started training year round for swimming after my freshman year of high school.  Just in that time, I have grown extremely passionate about swimming. Since I started working year round, I have made huge improvements, but I also know that I've only begun to scratch the surface of my potential. Although my senior club spring/summer season was cut short by the pandemic and my senior high school season may also be cut short, I was poised to push my personal bests to another level.  I hope I still get that chance to prove that this year in high school.  If not, I will do everything possible to become the student, swimmer, and teammate I know I can be at the next level.
