James Colombo '21 Recruiting Profile

Swimming has always been an important aspect in my life. From the time I was six years old I have spent countless hours in the water, training, competing, and learning. From my coaches and predecessors, I have been taught discipline, perseverance, and the values of strength in team. In all my years I have never experienced anything as difficult or as rewarding, my time in the water has allowed me to become the person I am today. It is my dream to continue learning and to continue improving at a higher level. My aspirations as a college athlete are derived from these sentiments. This personal statement is designed to persuade you to select me for a spot on your team, but it is my desire to let my accomplishments speak for themselves, my academic record and ability in the water can be credited to my hardworking personality, a trait that will continue to allow me to excel and compete.
