Kenneth the Swimmer

I've been a lifelong competitive swimmer. After UW closed all pools on campus in 2021, I was forced to take a break from the sport. While I initially thought I would be fine without swimming, the break allowed me to recognize how much I loved the sport and the community it provided. When the pools opened again in 2023, I returned to the water and joined the UW Swim Club. The goal initially was for fitness and socializing, but my constant involvement also lead me to take on a leadership role in the club as the captain. This has been a great way to both improve my leadership skills and also foster the swimmer community that I loved so much about the sport.
