I have loved swimming all my life. Even before swimming competitively, I loved enjoying myself in the refreshing waves of the beach and swimming in the pool. Naturally, my love for swimming and competitiveness led me to this sport. Immediately after joining the swim team, I felt right at home. I was given an opportunity to prove to the world what I can do and how much effort I can truly put into an endeavor.
Swimming has pushed me to my mental and physical limits, and then some. At swim practice, I always strive to incorporate both the effort of my body, and my mind. Not only do I put in immense physical effort, but I also make sure to maintain good technique and improve it when needed, based on the suggestions of teammates and coaches.
I can make a difference in a college swim team as I am easily coachable and put in effort to get along with my teammates.
