Toledo, Ohio – Toledo women's swimming and diving head coach Jonas Persson announced today that Kendra Polewski (Lakeshore, Ont.) will be joining the program beginning in the 2019-20 academic year. Polewski is transferring from the University of Findlay where she had a breakout freshman season that included taking the conference title in the 200 free relay en route to garnering all-conference honors.
 
Polewski is the eighth signee set to join the Rockets for the upcoming season.
 
"I'm very happy about Kendra joining us this fall," Persson said. "I recruited Kendra when she was a senior in high school and always wanted her to be a part of the team. She has great potential and comes from the same club team as incoming freshman Madison Broad, and I know she will do well and succeed here at Toledo."
