Christopher Czenszak '21 Recruiting Profile

I am currently swimming for my varsity high school team that I started when I was in 9th grade. But I began swimming competitively for the New York Sharks Aquatics when I was 10 years old. I continue to swim for both Varsity and Club today.

I have participated in multiple sports, Lacrosse, Basketball, Baseball and Soccer but always had an interest in swimming. It was the summer of 2014 I met a lifeguard named Peter at my Grandmother’s community pool. I was swimming laps when Peter approached me and asked, “Hey, are you on a swim team?” That’s when he and I spoke at great length about swimming and if I were interested he would be willing to teach me how to competitively swim; Peter swam competitively at the college level at SUNY New Paltz. It was at that first swim session that I knew I wanted to swim competitively.

My academic goals for college is to enter a program that will allow me to use my creativity and artistic ability to not only get a degree in film production or graphic arts, but in doing so I hope to inspire others through animation and film production. I’ve always been extremely artistic and knew from an early age that I would pursue a career in the arts. While in school I have been able to further my education in the art field and have decided that a degree in graphic arts or film production was where I wanted to focus my education once I entered college.

Through the years I have grown into a well-rounded student athlete, and I know I can be a positive influence on fellow teammates as well as classmates. I have always used my determination and creativity to help me achieve even the most difficult tasks, I look forward to using those characteristics in college.
