Caelan Sutton '22 Recruiting Profile

I've had an affinity for the water ever since I was young and I have always been a strong swimmer. When I was little I asked my mom if I could join a swim team, but she has been a single mom since I was 9 months old and just could not afford it or get me to the practices. I tried many sports which I enjoyed but never fell in love with. Then in 8th grade I went on a tour of the high school with my class and noticed they had  a swim team. After talking with the team members I got filled with excitement and asked my mom if I could join the swim team through the high school. Since we were in a better place financially and could make the practice times my mom agreed to let me try out! Since day 1 I have felt as if I have found my place in the sports world. Swimming has improved my focus, it's motivated me to push beyond what I believed were my limits, and has helped me in all aspects of life. Swimming is my passion and I plan to take it to the furthest extent! I'm working really hard to improve my academics as well as my times to make this dream a reality.
