Kyle Ward '20 Recruiting Profile

My Goals are always trying to improve on something. Even if it is the smallest thing. Because without a goal in mind you can’t really have strive for excellence. You need to have a drive, something that gets you out of bed everyday, and something that pushes you to be better. For me this is swimming. I’ve dedicated 10+ years of my life to this sport. The pool is practically my second home. And it’s not just enough to say I swim. I swim not only for myself, but for my team. A lot of people misrepresent swimming, and say it’s not a team sport, it’s a solo sport. I have been on many teams in my life through different sports and never once have I had the experience/family that I have with swimming. When you have a close team like you do with swimming you want to push yourself, you want to get up at the crack of dawn to jump in an icy pool. Because it’s not just for yourself. It’s for them too.
