As you all can see in my videos, I love relays, this is when I have my best performance. During the last Sectionals, I could swim 45.88 100 FREE!
I'm a 6'3 tall boy at 99-percentile, with a couple more years to grow, I'm a sprinter swimmer with 4 Sectionals cuts. Academically I'm a 3.92 unweighted GPA considering the fact I'm taking AP classes.
I swim for my school and club, I'm at NHS and I volunteer.
I came from Brazil to the US in 2014 and became a proud US citizen in 2020, I faced the challenge of being a Latino kid and not being able to speak English during my first year in the US. I can help to increase the diversity of your team, and eventually help international athletes to get adapted.
After joining the high school varsity swimming team as a freshman, I had the opportunity to be exposed to what it means to swim in the US and it all motivated me even more, I started to dedicate 4 hours per day of practice, AM (HS) and PM (Club).
Over the years I managed to also overcome my language impairment, and I quickly became an A student with superior results on Texas STAAR tests, always above average, which created a strong baseline for my high school grades. I'm taking AP classes, I'm planning to be more engaged on my service hours, I'm proud to represent my HS swim team and I want to become a wonderful team player and college swimmer.
