Welcome by Ethan Harrington

At age of 16, I moved 300 miles to Plymouth Leander to take the next steps. We train 12 times a week, 5 x very early pool starts (up at 4 am), 4 evening pool sessions and 3 gym sessions. I still have the same passion for it as when I first started. Over the years I get the same question. “Why do you do it?” and every time I give the exact same answer. “Winning a race and getting faster is the greatest buzz ever.”

It’s a singular sport but the training and team competitions have provided me with close and lasting friendships. There has always been one quote that has always stood out to me and that I can relate to; “swimming not only builds character… it tests it.” This means a great deal to me because through swimming I have become resilient and persistent in all aspects of my life. When it comes to my academics, I worked very hard and acquired good grades over the 10 different subjects for my GCSE’s I achieved 5 A grades and 5 B grades, whilst balancing my time with my swimming and school, which was quite

an achievement. This led me to be really excited about moving to Plymouth and beginning Mathematics, Spanish and Business, for my A levels. I definitely want to pursue some form of business degree at college. Swimming requires a huge amount of dedication and time but I love improving and there is so much more to look forward to. I would love to pursue my academic and swimming goals in America where sport and business are taken seriously. I am totally dedicated and am looking for a University with the facilities, staff and colleagues where I can achieve these goals and give back in equal measure.
