Brady Link '24 Recruiting Profile

After playing multiple sports growing up, I made the commitment to swimming in the summer of 2020 and have been swimming year-round with CLE Swimming for the past 2.5 years. I immediately fell in love with the intensity of club swimming compared to summer recreational swimming and I rose fast in the ranks of my team.  As this was during the height of COVID-19, I feel that I really hit my stride when I was finally able to compete during the 2020-21 high school season.  I am looking forward to continuing to train with my coach who is both my high school and club coach for the next few years to sustain the consistent improvement that I have seen in the pool. 

Outside of swimming, I try to be as well-rounded as possible and work hard in school maintaining a 4.1 GPA while taking several honors and AP courses.  I keep busy during the summer with a job as a lifeguard for the past two years and as a recreation team Assistant Coach for one summer.  As my club team’s representative on the Lake Erie Swimming House of Delegates, I participate in meetings that help guide the direction of the Local Swimming Community and meet schedules. 

I feel that my best years in swimming are ahead of me, and I have long-term goals for myself and believe swimming in college is what I need to achieve them.  I have confidence that my experience in managing a busy schedule that still allows for excellence in the classroom has set me up to be successful at the next level.
