Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Sophia Dumont and I am Swiss swimmer based in Dubai. I train 9 times a week with Hamilton Aquatics and go to school at Dubai International Academy. My short term goal would be making semi-finals/ finals at European Juniors 2020, and my college goal would be to be part of a Division 1 team and continue my hard work in both; swimming and education. My overall goal would be to compete in the Olympics in 2024, 2028 and etc, and I am sure that training with a team in Division 1 would allow me to accomplish that goal.
I believe that I would make a good teammate for a college swim team as I try and bring a lot of positivity and joyfulness to the team on a daily basis. I am a dedicated and motivated swimmer and I want to get the most out of myself each swim practice, in order to become the fastest I possibly can. I think that having a swim team with the same aspirations and goals makes an amazing and hardworking team spirit.
I would say that I am very organized and balanced which allows me to manage my swim training and academics very well. Being able to cope with stress from school plus intensive swim training every week, will allow me to pass on these life skills to college, which is extremely necessary if I want to perform the way I aspire to.
