Trinity Nusca '25 Recruiting Profile

“Sans objectifs, l'entraînement n'a pas de direction.” - Natalie Anne Coughlin, 12 time Olympic medlalist.

This quote, "Without goals, training has no direction" has resonated with me deeply throughout my journey as a swimmer. However, this wasn’t the case when I was six years old and first jumped into the pool and splashed around. All I knew then, was that I loved the water and wanted to be a mermaid. 

Fast forward, 10 years later, I love being in the water for many different reasons and the quote above has served as a constant reminder that every stroke, every lap, and every training session is for a purpose. Setting goals has been the driving force behind my progress in the pool. Whether it's a personal best time, a specific stroke technique, or qualifying for a competition; having that clear objective in mind has given my training purpose and direction.

But setting goals is just the first step. Achieving them requires discipline, perseverance, and a willingness to push myself beyond my comfort zone. There have been times when I've wanted to give up mid-set, but I've learned that true progress requires pushing through these moments of discomfort and staying committed.

I truly believe that my capacity to perform under pressure is my strong suit and I excel very well in Medley Relays, by not only racing to my fullest potential but also by motivating my teammates. I would make an excellent addition to the team because I am driven and determined to win.

My ambitions for swimming are just the same outside of the pool. Currently, I am enrolled in the IB diploma program at École secondaire Catholique Ste Trinité. I have attended French school all my life and am bilingual in the French and English language. I enjoy math, problem-solving and robotics. My aspiration is to continue to lead others and be the strength in numbers in gender equity in computer science. 

I hope to make an impact alongside a stellar team, but also with the campus community with my diverse cultural background. I aim to join a university that has an impressive Computer Science program, a solid swim team, and one that has a strong leader in a Swim Coach.
