Personal Statement
My name is Paiton VanDyke and I am a junior at Marian High School in Bloomfield Hills, MI. Ever since I started swimming at age 5, I knew I wanted to continue swimming. Swimming is a huge part of my life and I have been competitively swimming for 11 years now. I can't imagine not continuing my swimming career through college. I want to find the perfect college for me, one that fits me academically and athletically. I am very passionate about and committed to swimming, and it has also helped me stay dedicated to my academics. Whatever I choose to study in college, I know with swimming, I can succeed.
