Personal Statement
Ella Glaspie's Profile on CollegeSwimming.com: https://www.collegeswimming.com/swimmer/611433/
My connection with the pool came very early, beginning at just 6 months old bonding with Grandma in a local 'Y' water discovery program. It took off from there and I never looked back! I started year-round competitive club swimming at the age of 9 and have been with Kingfish Aquatics of Waterford (KAW) for 5 years.
Although I have explored other sports, my passion truly lies with swimming. It's a big part of my personal journey... I enjoy the process of goal-setting, training and pushing myself to compete at the highest level. Out of the pool, I am learning the importance of hard work, dedication, perseverance, time management, leadership and a "can-do" positive attitude. Above all, I cherish the relationships that have been built through swimming -- some of my best friends are also teammates!
Now a sophomore in high school, I'm still in the early stages of development as a student-athlete. There's still so much to learn as I continue to grow within my sport. I'm very excited about this next phase on my swimming career! Looking forward to see what the future has in store for me when I graduate in 2021!
