Hi! I’m Selena Nicor-Pereira, a swimmer from Oldsmar, Florida. Swimming has shaped who I am. It’s taught me resilience, discipline, and how to thrive within a team. Through both successes and setbacks, I’ve learned to push past limits and approach every challenge with determination and a growth mindset. Although swimming is such a big part of who I am, I don’t let it define me as a person. Outside the pool, I stay deeply connected to my community and culture, which has inspired my dream of pursuing a career in medicine. I also express my heritage through cultural dancing, which strengthens my identity and reminds me of the value of balance and passion in everything I do. As I look toward the next chapter of my swimming career, I’m excited to join a collegiate program where I can continue growing as both an athlete and a student. I hope to bring my dedication, positivity, and team-oriented attitude to contribute to a program that values hard work, unity, and excellence.
