I have been swimming for 10 years now. I started out on a rec summer league program, then moved to USA swimming around the age of seven. I have been on several different teams, which have allowed me to work with different coaching styles. I have had success everywhere I have been. I have taken it as a challenge each new team I have been on to show my coaches how hard I can work and how much I love swimming. When I got to go to Florida for a national swim meet, I was so excited. It was my first time going to a swim meet that was way out of state and at the level of competition. I have had a few bumps in my swimming career, but I always came back stronger than before thanks to my work ethic and my love of the sport. I love being challenged both in and out of the pool and I am very competitive. I enjoy supporting my teammates and like it when they succeed as well. My hope is to find a school that challenges me not only in the pool but in the classroom.
