Personal Statement
My name is Breanna Thomas and I have been swimming competitively since I was five years old. My goal is to be a competitive swimmer with a scholarship at the school I choose to obtain may bachelor’s degree from in marine biology. I have wanted to be a marine biologist since I was in second grade. You should choose me for your team because I always try to make practice fun and do my best, even during the rough sets. I am different than a lot of other swimmers you will see because when I'm in the pool I get into this mindset of knowing what I am capable of and letting no one tell me that I can’t get to be where I want to be. If they try, I will show them that they are wrong. I will show them that I am better than they think, and there is no reason to second guess what I am capable of. I do this both with my school work and in swimming. I have a gap in my swim year because I had knee surgery in October of 2019, and I got back in the water, February of 2020. I am beating my old times and I am able to swim all my events without any issues. I also moved from New Jersey to Florida in August of 2020.
