Emma Robredo '24 Recruiting Profile

For almost eight years, swimming has taught me the influential power of passion, and how it can drive dedication beyond what is asked of me. Even when I first began swimming, I discovered my passion lay in the water, and that I would continue my athletic journey with a club team at an elite level.

I swam for Greenwich YWCA Dolphins for almost 7 years where I practiced at the highest level and competed in championship meets including the CT Senior SCY Championship in my best events. My passion drove me to crave even more improvement than I saw at Dolphins, and, thus, I decided to experiment with change at the Stamford Sailfish Aquatic Club in 2021. I continue to swim at the club at the present time.

My intense devotion to swimming also led me to join the Sacred Heart Greenwich swim team where I compete at the Varsity level along with water polo at the Varsity level. Currently, I hold three records for Sacred Heart: two team records for the 400 and 200 freestyle relays and one 100 freestyle record at The Master's School (NY). 

To continue, I am most proficient in my freestyle stroke and was a top 16 performer in Connecticut for certain long-distance events. I now continue to excel in both mid-distance and sprint events such as the 200 and 100 freestyle where I hold a 1:59:9 and 55:6 respectively.

Beyond the pool, I am known for my high achievements in my academics at Sacred Heart. As can be seen by my cumulative GPA and report card, I strive for excellence in my understanding of all topics and am an extremely curious student. I am especially interested in curriculums that involve science, engineering, business, and mathematics which I hope to pursue in the future.

In the collegiate setting, I hope to immerse myself in an academically curious and strongly competitive environment that will push the discovery of my identity and community. As a member of the Hispanic community in the United States, I hope to introduce more of my Argentine culture to my new college and expand my understanding of my distant community as well. And finally, I hope to continue my swimming career at a competitive level where my peers will push my confidence and coaches will help me flourish as a competitor.
