Xavier Yu '22 Recruiting Profile

I first started swimming when my elementary school needed a replacement for the swim team.  I took up the offer and I was placed on the freestyle relay team. Even though we didn't medal, the excitement of competing and the camaraderie with my classmates was the initial spark that fuelled my passion for swimming.

The very next year I joined the North York Aquatics Club (NYAC), a local swim club and progressed steadily. I'm currently in my Senior year at Toronto Cricket Club. I specializing in Freestyle, Breast Stroke and Individual Medley.  I feel like I'm just getting started. I’m the type of student-athlete who grinds it out, works hard and steadily improves. I’m building towards achieving the times to hopefully be part of a top tier University swimming program.  I know it’s important to have big goals and to aim high.

I’m heading into my Senior year at Lawrence Park Colligate Institute.  I’m an honor roll student (90% average) in the French Immersion program.
