Swimming is a huge part of who I am. I have grown as a person, athlete, and student through my participation in the sport. I spend a tremendous amount of time in the pool, not because I have to but because I love to do so. I am passionate about swimming and embrace all of the challenges that come with it. I enter every practice with the determination to get better, in and out of the water. I find many ways to train, especially methods to enhance my speed and endurance for my mid-distance and distance events. I fully intend to further my swimming career in college and continue to work towards my goals and improve for the benefit of the team.
