Swimmer Adam Brown has represented England in the 2010 Common wealth Games, the 2009 World Championships and the 2008 Olympics, but his newest challenge will be opposing for Southeastern Conference supremacy. The men’s swimming team travels to Gainesville, Fla., for the SEC Championship Feb. 16.This contest is nothing new to the three-time SEC champion and three-time All-American. Brown, a native of Cambridge, England, has been swimming in competitions since he was a boy.
“I started swimming competitively around 10 for local clubs back in England,” Brown said, “and I just kept moving ahead.“Now I am in America, in Auburn, one of the best programs in the world.”Though far from his home, Auburn’s past success in swimming attracted Brown to the school, and he said he is proud to call himself a Tiger.“Auburn has a great custom in sprint freestyle swimming and sprint swimming in general,” Brown said. “Training under coach Hawke here is a big honor for me.
“I love training here, I love everything he has done for me and everything that he is going to continue to do.”Brown said having the chance to represent his home country in a number of international competitions was an honor.“It’s amazing,” Brown said. “It’s hard to describe being there. “The environment is so good and to wear your country’s colors it’s just unbelievable.”Brown said his time competing in higher-level competitions has helped him get better enormously.
