Salina Area Boys Swimmer Spotlight – Sean Iselin from Salina South (Presented by Visit Wichita)

While Salina South’s Sean Iselin did not spend a ton of time in the pool this offseason, he still focused on working on his health.

“I worked a decently physically demanding job over the summer as well as played football and attended all the lifting and agility sessions that went along with that,” Iselin said. “I also pride myself on my dedication to my health and fitness during my personal time by going to the gym and tracking what I eat.”

No matter the event, Iselin wants to be a state qualifier in 2025.

“My main goal for this season is to get to state, whether in a relay or in an individual event,” Iselin said.

The Cougars graduated several swimmers from last season, so Iselin understands he has to step up his ability to lead.

“Something I am wanting to improve upon this year is my leadership qualities,” Iselin said. “In previous years we have had a decently sized junior-senior class of swimmers who would all help split up the responsibilities of being the team leaders. Last year after we graduated a class of 10 (which was around half the team) I realized that all of what those ten were doing was now being passed on to me.”
