Reyn Jensen '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Reyn Jensen. I am 16 years old and going into my junior year at St. Lucy’s Priory High School in Glendora, California. I have loved being in a pool for as long as I can remember. I started swimming competitively after spending two summers swimming on a recreation team for 3 months. I realized that I loved the competition and challenges that swimming brings. I joined a club swim team, Covina Aquatics Association, when I was 10 and have loved every minute of it.

 
The daily routine of swimming brings me peace and overall happiness. I have a true passion for swimming and I am always trying to do my very best. I am determined, committed and hard working, in and out of the pool. 

CAA has taught me many things. It’s taught me how to be a teammate, to not give up even when I don’t think I can do something, and to have a good mentality going into everything, not just my races and practices. Swimming has not only taught me many things, but it has also helped me grow as a person. The perseverance and determination I have in the pool is applied to my rigorous and academic education.

During my time at CAA, pre-pandemic, I taught 4-7 year olds how to swim. I was able to learn how to work with young children and share the mechanics of swimming to young swimmers. When the pandemic hit, my coach did everything in his power to keep us in the pool, even if it had to come down to working out in a backyard pool. This showed me perseverance and determination to never give up even during trying times.

Having attended an academically rigorous elementary and now high school, I feel that I would be prepared for the challenges that I would face in college.

I believe that I can be a great asset to your team.
