WHY SIU

“I fell in love with the SIU campus. It's so beautiful with its trees, lake, and colorful flowers. I also love the culture of the swim team. They are a close-knit group with friendly swimmers from all over the country and world. I'm looking forward to a great freshman year with new adventures, new friends, and fast swimming.”
