Cole Kincart '21 Recruiting Profile

Why I'm Motivated

College swimming was not on my radar at the beginning of the year.  In April, I had the chance to represent my LSC at USA Swimming's Leadership Summit in Colorado Springs.  This experience changed everything for me.  I realized that the sport of swimming has impacted me in so many positive ways for nearly my entire life. I realized that I loved the sport and that I was excited about how swimming could help me prepare as a leader.  This experience was enhanced when I attended a Select Camp hosted by my lSC.  While I am aware of the effort that goes into swimming in college, I hope I can not only grow as a swimmer,  but still continue to help and give back to a sport/community that has meant so much to me. 

Being an Asset

Although I hate talking about myself, I feel that it is rather necessary to explain how I can positively contribute to the program and campus. I think my academic discipline and desire to do well academically, shows that i'm willing to be active in other aspects of my life besides swimming. I value academics and hope that I can find a program where I'm able to still excel.  My teachers would say that I am a leader in the classroom.  Outside of the classroom and swimming, I am an Eagle Scout.  I am also a leader in the pool.  I enjoy working with younger swimmers.  I benefitted from kind, older swimmers when I was starting.  I want to give back.  I have also been a swimmer representative on my team's board and I am currently an athlete representative to our LSC's House of Delegates.   I value my leadership skills and abilities. In addition, I am a very coachable athlete. I'm always willing to trust the process and try new things.
