Ari Lemisch is a junior freestyle swimmer for the Lafayette Leopards from Scarsdale, N.Y., who began swimming at seven years old. Coming from a strong Lafayette legacy — his father Adam Lemisch '88 played lacrosse and his sister Danielle Lemisch '23 competed on the swim team — he has embraced the College as a second home while working to make Lafayette his own both in and out of the water.
