Grayson is a fourth-year neuroscience undergraduate at IU Indianapolis, looking to pursue a career in optometry/ophthalmology after school. A swim fanatic, he joined his club team in Dallas, Texas at the age of 9, and hasn't stopped since. He has contributed to multiple conference top-8 finishes and top-5 all time finishes in school history. Swimming at a competitive level for over a decade provides ample experience to teach a new generation of swimmers at any age or level of experience, and to give them the necessary tools to grow both in and out of the water.
