For senior Aaron Akin, this winter sports season marks the end of a nearly four-year period of waiting to represent his school through his sport, swimming.
Akin had been swimming on club teams for eight years and wanted to contribute to his school through something that’s important to him.
“I’ve been waiting for a swim team the entire time I’ve been here,” Akin said.
With three school records under his belt so far, Akin has nothing but enthusiasm for the rest of the season.“I’m excited,”
Akin said “I finally get to represent my school my senior year.”
Although dedicated to his team, Akin admits that he isn’t extreme in his methods.
“I’m pretty dedicated,” Akin said. “But I don’t go all out and be like ‘let’s shave our legs’ before a swim meet.”
