Kayleigh Kuschewski '22 Recruiting Profile

I started taking swim lessons when I was eight . During this time I quickly figured out the different strokes and realized swimming might be the sport for me. I joined a large team in Illinois for a year but realized I needed to concentrate on technique as well as yardage.  I moved to a smaller team learned more about the mechanics of each stroke and then applied what I learned during practice.

A large part of my success is my great coaching staff and teammates. My focus up until this point has been to perfect my strokes to drop time. I have stayed strong through dry land training 3 days a week with a program with Acceleration Sports Performance with club swimming. In the off season I worked out at PraxisFit with a trainer. In the summer season my club team also does double practices.

At school I am well-respected from my peers and teachers and maintain a high grade point average. I have played viola since I was 10 and will continue in high school. When I swim in high school I am looking forward to meeting new swimmers from other teams that will bring us together for one common goal, our high school team.

What I am looking for in a college team is a healthy, balanced environment for both school and swimming, a coach that will push me to the next level, a team that is like a family, and teammates I call my friends for life. I would be honored to swim on a team with those characteristics and would give 100% of myself in return.
