Finn Shonstrom '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming since age 10. My love for the sport has only grown since then and I truly believe that I see a future in swimming. My end goal would be swimming at the college level. 

People, talking, sharing, and communicating are all my strengths. I can bring people together by organizing activities and love to put myself out there and meet new people. Being comfortable in uncomfortable situations is where I thrive. In the pool, and out, I have learned that mistakes benefit you in the long run. I am a hard worker and love to push myself. Goals are very important to me, but I also understand that everyone sometimes has off days. 

One of my strengths is lifting others up. In and out of the water I try my best to put on a smile and help make everyone's day a little better. School is also very important to me; learning and growing are vital parts of maturing. Although math may not be my favorite subject, I appreciate a challenge and love to test my limits. I know when to be competitive, and though it can be painful to get in a cold pool at 6 am in February in Vermont, I know that it's pushing through moments like that that can make all the difference. Swimming is very important to me, and I hope it continues to be a central chapter in my life.

Thank you,

Finn Shonstrom
