Today’s FINIS Set of the Week comes from James Harasym. James was a competitive swimmer for 12 years for Three Village Swim Club under Barry Roffer in East Setauket, New York. He then went on to coach for the Sachem Swim Club, and will be graduating from Stony Brook University in June with a Bachelors Degree in Business Management and Economics with a Minor in Sports Marketing.
