My name is Elizabeth Mateja, but my teammates and coaches call me Zizi. I have been swimming competitively since I was six years old. I am a four year varsity swimmer. My best events include the 50, 100, 200, and 400/500 freestyle. Swimming has been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid. Through my love for water I have made so many friends and amazing memories. Lessons I have learned in the pool have helped shape the person I am today. My goal is to continue to grow my passion for the sport through college swimming. I hope to continue to share my love for swimming with my future teammates.
