“Notre Dame inspires athletes to be the best they can be in and out of the pool. At Notre Dame, working hard is strengthened by working smart to efficiently develop well-rounded athletes. The supportive coaching staff is eager to help their athletes achieve their goals and with a beautiful and welcoming campus, it felt like home. I believe Notre Dame swimming has a very bright future, and I am more than excited to be a part of it. GO IRISH!”
