Jack Frank '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming for 11 years now, and I cannot imagine ever NOT swimming competitively.  I enjoy practice.   It is a great stress relief and I love the comradery with my friends and coaches.  I enjoy seeing how the effort and work that I put in over time translates into improvements in the pool.   I have also learned that this lesson applies outside of the pool.  The discipline that I have learned allows me to improve in the classroom and other areas of my life.   

I have set high goals for myself in and out of the pool.  I want to attend a college with high academic standards and earn a degree in a technical field (math, physics, engineering, etc).  To this end I have pushed myself to take more math classes than necessary and I have signed up for as many AP and Honors classes as I can.   I enjoy pushing my mind to excel in the classroom.

Competition is also something I relish.  Whether it is in the pool at practice, at a swim meet, or playing board games with my family, I love the thrill of competing against others.  I want to push this to the next level in college and continue to be the best that I can be.  Although I enjoy competition, I also enjoy when my teammates succeed.  Helping a teammate hit a personal best is a good feeling, knowing that we have pushed and helped each other.
