James LeMahieu '22 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I started swim at the age of 11 swim has always been an escape; something that consistently brings me joy no matter what mood or energy level I am during that day. Whether it's highschool practice or club practice there's always joy to find when I swim. Creating the positive and accepting community that I have at swim is something that both benefits me and other people. Being able to come to swim and receive encouragement through a hard set or have someone brighten your day when it's particularly tough that day is something that I look forward to fostering on the level of collegiate swim as well.   Along with building a positive community around me, I also bring my positive attitude, determination, and strong work ethic to the team overall making  a positive hardworking approach to swimming within myself. This approach I find beneficial for myself as well as others as the positivity spreads to other people.
