Chloe Chen '25 Recruiting Profile

For majority of my life, swimming has been a major part of it. I started swim lessons around 2 years old and transitioned to competitive swimming at the age of 7. I’ve always loved the water, and joining a swim team was the puzzle piece that showed me how much I really loved it. I’ve realized that the next logical step for me is to be able to continue my swimming career collegiately. Swimming has taught me so much, including the importance of having a positive attitude, having good work ethic, and perseverance.

I swim for both my high school, West Lafayette Jr./Sr. High School, and my club team, Boilermaker Aquatics. As a sophomore I was part of the relay team that qualified for the IHSAA 2023 State meet and broke our school record in the 200 Medley Relay. Being a part of both teams has taught me how important it is to set myself goals and work super hard to achieve them. I’ve learned how important it is to communicate with others, especially teammates and coaches. I’ve always strived to be better than I was the previous year, whether that be in the pool or in the classroom.

Academics is super important to me. Maybe even more so than swimming. Throughout high school I have maintained all A’s and A+’s. I‘ve always challenged myself to take Honors and AP classes as well. It is important for me to find a school that will be able to challenge me athletically and academically and I’m really looking forward to discovering the perfect fit for my future swim and academic career.
