I have been swimming competitively for 9 years, and I have never stopped loving the sport. I love being apart of a team and the competitiveness drives me to get better everyday I jump into the water. My competitiveness in the pool also correlates into the classroom. I am extremely hard working in and out of the classroom as well as the pool. I have the ability and/or wiliness to swim any distance, from the 50 to the 1650 and all strokes. I am always eager to learn and find new ways to make myself a better person and a faster swimmer. I've been known to be a coach-able athlete and have been awarded, "Most Dedicated" and "Most Improved" from my club team for multiple years. I have also recently been named my High School team captain for my senior year, that was voted on by my teammates.
