I started taking swimming serious around 8th grade. Before, I had been on rec teams that only practiced 2-3 times a week. When I eventuallly joined a club team, the pandemic hit. However, despite all the tensions I was still able to make so much improvment in a short amount of time. I dropped enormous amount of time and believe that on the path I am going on, I can drop so much more time. I have began to start weight training as well. I think I am good candidate as I am determined and a hardworker. I have the drive to imporve in swimming and I will continue to push myself harder and reach new goals.
