We’re thrilled to announce that Bree Anderson, a standout swimmer from Nelson, New Zealand, has signed with Wagner College to join their NCAA Division I Swimming Team in August 2021. Bree’s hard work, dedication, and achievements have earned her a well-deserved spot in the competitive Northeast Conference (NEC), and we couldn’t be more excited for her next chapter.
Bree’s swimming story began at the age of 10 when she joined the Nelson Swimming Club, inspired by her older brother. Since then, Bree has made waves in the pool, achieving remarkable milestones:
Her success reflects her unwavering dedication and passion for the sport.
Located in Staten Island, New York, Wagner College offers the perfect combination of strong academics and competitive athletics, making it the ideal fit for Bree’s aspirations.
What Wagner Offers Bree:
For Bree, Wagner’s balance of academics, athletics, and location made it the clear choice.
"Wagner was the best fit for my swimming and academics as it had the balance I was looking for. I wanted a strong swim team and a strong business program. Being so close to New York gives me the opportunity to participate in internships and learn about business processes I wouldn’t find at other colleges. The small class sizes and campus were also important to me—coming from New Zealand, I wasn’t used to big schools. After talking to the coaches and swim team, Wagner was the obvious choice."
Since partnering with Platform Sports on May 12, 2020, Bree’s goals were clear: to find a college that matched her swimming ambitions and academic interests. Within seven months, we helped her secure a scholarship with Wagner College—a school that perfectly fits her values and future goals.
We are so proud of Bree’s determination and all the hard work she’s put into achieving this milestone.
"I can’t go past the help I had with the recruitment process. Amrit (Director) and Natasha (Swimming Recruiter) listened to everything I wanted in a school, which resulted in finding the perfect match for me and my family’s needs. Before signing with Platform, the recruitment process seemed scary, but with their support, it became something I was excited to be part of. Having a team in both New Zealand and America made a big difference—I always felt informed and supported throughout the process."
As Bree prepares to start her college journey in Fall 2021, we know she will make an incredible impact at Wagner—both in the pool and the classroom. Her passion, talent, and commitment set her up for a bright future as part of the Seahawks Swimming Team.
The right team. The right programme. The right future.
Bree’s story is a testament to what’s possible with hard work, the right support, and a clear vision for the future. If you’re ready to take your sport to the next level, Platform Sports is here to guide you every step of the way.
