I’ve spent my childhood by the pool, swimming in the water, jumping into lakes and oceans. I started swimming for the swim team at my local community pool at the age of 5. I fell in love with swim and loved the spirit and the adrenaline rushes that came with racing. Around age 12 I took interest in diving, watching the older kids at the pool try incredible things off the board. I decided that’s what I wanted and have loved it ever since then. To me, dive shows elegance, beauty, as well and a sense of bravery. I feel proud when I am able to accomplish something in my sport that is fluid as well as strong. I’m passionate about dive and want to include it in my future. As I evaluate my college goals, I am excited to pursue dive in addition to my academics.
