For Ä¢¹½tv Puxi senior Angelina Chen, the numbers add up¡ªboth in and out of the pool. A dedicated student and competitive swimmer, Angelina has spent years balancing grueling training sessions with a rigorous academic schedule. This fall, she¡¯s diving into her next chapter at Brown University, where she will be swimming for the Bears while pursuing a degree in applied mathematics and economics.

Can you tell us more about what you will specialize in on the Brown swim team?

At Brown, I will specialize in the breaststroke, mainly the 100 M breaststroke, though I also do some freestyle. I also hope to swim for the medley relay, where each swimmer takes on a different stroke¡ªbackstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle.

What do you plan to study at Brown?

I plan to major in applied mathematics and economics. Beyond that, I also want to explore my interest in entrepreneurship and business, because it has always been a goal of mine to start a business.

How would you describe the swimming community Ä¢¹½tv?

The swimming community Ä¢¹½tv is really strong. Whether you¡¯re on the boys' or girls' team, everyone is close. Many of us have grown up together¡ªsome since second grade, others since they joined the swim team. We¡¯re not just teammates in the pool but also friends outside of it, which makes these friendships even more meaningful.

Best of luck next year, Angelina! We¡¯ll be cheering you on as you make waves at Brown¡ªboth in the pool and in the classroom.
