Start:

He took up swimming at age four in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. (elnuevodiario.com.do, 24 Feb 2021; universe.byu.edu, 21 Jun 2021)

Reason:

His cousin was a swimming coach and encouraged his father to enrol him and his brother in a summer camp. He grew up playing baseball and basketball but says swimming was always his main priority. "I think for me, it was always swimming. I love playing all the other sports, but swimming just had something that fit. When I was in the pool, I felt great." (universe.byu.edu, 21 Jun 2021)

Award:

In 2021, while representing Brigham Young University, he was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Male Swimmer of the Year in the United States of America. (byucougars.com, 09 Jun 2021)

SKIPPING RIO
He achieved a qualification time for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but chose not to take part in the Games in favour of starting a two-year religious mission in Puebla, Mexico, in 2015. While in Mexico, he was only able to train for 30 minutes per day and tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee playing basketball. "For me, it wasn't hard. I made a decision that I was going to serve a mission no matter what. The question was just when I was going. My nutritionist said it would be better for my swimming career if I went earlier."
