Kevin Roberton '16 Recruiting Profile

I am a well-rounded student athlete, I have been a competitive swimmer since the age of eight and swimming is a huge part of my life. I think it would be an amazing experience to train and compete with a college team. Currently I maintain an honors average in school while training 22 hours a week with  the Ontario Swimming Academy. This is a prospect development program that takes a science-based approach to developing and refining stroke mechanics for efficiency and speed. Prior to the Academy I was a member of Ajax Swimming's high performance group.

My collegiate goals are ultimately to pursue a career in some aspect of human health,  while also contributing to my team and overall campus life. I'm a strong individual competitor while being all about the team. I love relay swimming and team events where I am pushed to step up and perform in tough situations. My ultimate athletic goal would be to represent my team and school in NCAA finals.

What sets me apart from most student athletes is that at the age of nine I was identified with an intellectually gifted IQ. We (my family and I) felt it was important to be well-rounded so I was encouraged to be the best that I could be in both athletics and academics. This is something I continue to work towards today while contributing to my school community. In my little bit of free time, I love to read and cook.
