My parents tell me the first time I went in a pool it was obvious I loved the water. I started to kick my feet and slap the water with my hands. I was 7 months old. Now 14 years later and I still love the pool. Competitive swimming has given me so much more than just being a good swimmer. It has taught me discipline, time management skills, how to take constructive criticism and a lifelong healthy habit. I am a dedicated swimmer who will apply feedback to better myself. I am committed to continue my swimmer career in college.
