Ty Gibbs '19 Recruiting Profile

My goal for swimming in college is to make it as far and as fast as I can. Not only do I love the competitiveness of this sport but the relationships I have with my teammates and the energy at swim meets! I would make a great candidate for the team because I have natural leadership skills and I am the type of person to help and encourage others to do their best. I have received several awards in my swimming career and have been recognized for my leadership qualities.  What makes me different is my ability to overcome challenges, as I am a Type 1 Diabetic.  This disease has not stopped me as it has forced me to better manage my overall health, which has made me a better athlete.
