ADDITIONAL HONORS: National Teams: Member of the 2009-2010 National Team PERSONAL: High School: Flowing Wells HS '05 College: University of Arizona '10 College Major: Deaf Study/ Special Education Parents: Mieko and Mark ... Mark works for the City of Tucson Water Department and Mieko is an Interpreter Sibling(s): Older sister (Monica) attends UC Berkeley and is getting her PhD in Chemical Engineering Started Swimming: Age 12 ..."My mom encouraged me to try out for swimming during high school my freshman year since I didn’t really enjoy sports that involved running and sweating. I reluctantly joined the team and the first month of practice was disastrous. I hated practices and the speedos. But, then I had my first swim meet and the results surprised not only myself but also my teammates and coaches. With their encouragement and my new motivation (I turned out to be a competition junkie), I continued swimming. I loved to race and, it made me feel good. This is why I continue with the sport and me working even harder than ever!" Sports Played Before Swimming: Soccer, Basketball, Golf Nickname(s): Marcus Aurelius..."When I joined the University of Arizona, I introduced myself to Coach Busch with my full name, Marcus James Titus. He immediately responded that my name sounds very Roman, like the name Marcus Aurelius. Then he said that he liked the sound of that better on me, so every once in a while he’ll call me Marcus Aurelius." Hobbies Outside the Pool: PS3, Rock climbing, cycling, relaxing, cooking Japanese food Ultimate Way to Relax: Sleep, napping and lying on my bed Training Stats: Swims 5500 yards a day, 6 days a week, 2-4 hours a day More: "I was born deaf and use a hearing aid and an interpreter to help me communicate. With the support of my family, friends, and interpreter, I’ve been able to succeed in this sport. I’ve never let my inability to hear to slow me down, in or out of the pool. And although I compete in a completely noise-less environment, the only reason you’d ever suspect I’m not hearing is that I use a strobe light on the starting blocks to jump into the pool. I’m motivated to show that I can compete along side the country’s best, even if I can’t hear the starting gun and the screaming fans."
