Quintin McCarty - Fastest Swimmer in ACC - Episode 235

Author: Social Kick March 18, 2025 Duration: 54:49
The best kicker in college swimming   Quintin McCarty, the 2025 ACC 50 freestyle champion, could be looking to sign NIL deals in two sports if the Wolfpack football staff needs any help in the kicking game. While swimmers are getting more athletic every year, we don’t often hear about swimmers with hobbies that could potentially unlock legitimate opportunities in other sports. Turns out, Quintin is pretty dangerous with the right leg. The takeaway: high performers enjoy the process of trying, failing, learning, repeating - and this might apply to their primary field (swimming) or any other activity.    But for now, Quintin McCarty is focused on swimming, and that is great news for swim fans. Recently winning his first conference title, Quintin went personal bests in all his events at ACCs and is primed to rack up some points at NCAAs for the Pack.    Quintin thinks he’ll still be in great swim shape for the next 20 years too. So, watch out Masters records once he’s done wreaking havoc on the college and international sprint game.
