Personal Statement

My dream is to become the most successful swimmer and student athlete I can possibly become. Not only as an individual, but as a team member. I feel that I want to improve my leadership and life skills as much as possible and I feel that swimming is one of the greatest sports to help develop these skills. I would love to compete on a high-performance college team, and be able to compete at the national level on a competitive team.
