Sophia Moore '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Sophia Moore and I have been swimming for ten years. I feel that swimming has taught me what it seems to teach most student-athletes: how to work well with others, hard work, dedication, and time management. While these are all positive outcomes, I have found one of the most important aspects of my swimming career has been being given the opportunity to work with such a diverse group of swimmers. Not only have I trained in the same environment with a variety of different personalities, but also swimmers with different levels of passion for the sport. This aspect of my career helped me make a hard decision. Just over a year ago, I decided to switch club teams. As hard as it was leaving my swim family that I had been with my whole life, I am so grateful I made the decision to change teams. Being on my new team (Great Lakes Tritons) has completely changed swimming for me. I have been given the opportunity to train with swimmers who are much faster than me but have the same love that I carry for this sport. Training with these high-level athletes has pushed me harder than ever which has resulted  in some great time drops. The leap I made over a year ago has made me even more excited to see what will come in my collegiate future. I can't wait to face more challenges, drop more time, and expand my swim family even more.
