Personal Statement
My name is Megan Corcoran, and I proudly represent TNT Swimming out of Daphne, AL, though my home is in Pensacola, FL. I've been immersed in the world of swimming since I was six, beginning my journey with the Wichita Swim Club in Wichita, KS. Thanks to my father's military service, I've had the unique privilege of experiencing a mosaic of coaching styles and club cultures across the U.S., From Baton Rouge's Crawfish and Tiger Aquatics to Estero's Gulf Coast Swim Team. Even during a memorable stint in Madison, WI, during a family holiday, my passion for swimming grew with each move.
Being part of a military family instilled a strong sense of discipline and goal-setting in me. I’ve set my sights high and consistently pushed my boundaries from a young age. Currently, I aspire to elevate my swimming prowess to the collegiate stage. I'm well aware of the rigorous challenges this presents. Still, with unwavering determination and the grit to continuously hone my skills, both in and out of the pool, I am committed to evolving into a college-level athlete who can bring value to the team.
Over the years, swimming has shaped me, teaching me the profound impact of a positive mindset. This understanding has propelled me through demanding sets and races and inspired me to foster a supportive and uplifting environment for my peers during training and competitions.
As I look ahead to college, I envision an institution where education, competition, and camaraderie converge. A place where I can grow academically, athletically, and personally, making meaningful contributions to my team and the larger college community.
Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction. I eagerly await the possibility of contributing to, and learning from, your esteemed swim program.
Warm regards,
Megan Corcoran
