Hunt started swimming at age six because of an asthma problem that greatly reduced his lung capacity. A doctor advised he start swimming, and today asthma doesn’t bother him anymore.
“The first games I remember watching were the ’92 Games in Barcelona,” says Hunt in a Q&A for Auburn’s website. “I was only 10 and didn’t really understand the significance but I knew that was where the best were and of course wanted to be there wearing the red, white and blue.”
