After visiting the campus and meeting the coaches, team and academic advisors I knew exactly who I wanted to partner with to advance both in the pool and in the classroom. It is incredible how many resources and opportunities the Louisville program has for its athletes to be successful. It is an honor to join the University of Louisville Swim and Dive family. Go Cards!”
