Nathan Xu '25 Recruiting Profile

Swimming for me is a lifestyle. Being a student-athlete has given me more opportunities than I could ever imagine. Having the luxury of competing with the best of the best is a privilege only a small amount of people can experience. Being an athlete has helped me understand my body and mind and how to improve it. Whether that’s through nutrition, stretching, or simply the social interactions between my fellow teammates. The most important thing to me is the amount of joy I have gotten out of swimming and my teammates. Being able to have a second family to escape the challenges of life or anything in general has been one of the best things that has ever happened in my life.
