From Cape Town, South Africa, to Rocky Top, Olympian Michael Houlie is living his dream, swimming for the University of Tennessee and studying finance and entrepreneurship.

He knew training for the Olympics and earning a degree so far from home wouldn’t be easy, but at UT Houlie found coaches and professors who cared about his success in the water and in the classroom. Now, he proudly calls UT his second home and reps the Power T around the world.
