I have been swimming for more than half of my life at this point. I have the dedication to stay with this sport and the drive to get better, and it shows in my times. Not to mention, I have been balancing all those days at practice with my academics, and I have been able to keep up with it all. However, I also know that I have room to grow, and that I can keep getting better as long as I keep working hard and striving to be where I want to be.
