Quote:

"I enjoy swimming because of the sense of community that it provides for all of its members.  It is nice to know that a group of people will support you and guide you from the minute you walk on campus through graduation.  The friends that I have made through the swim team will last me a lifetime and have made my experience at Emory unforgettable.  The people that make up this team are all so amazing that I am sure there is no environment such as this anywhere else in the country."
