Personal Statement

Hello, coaches and recruiters!

My name is Samantha, and I am currently in my senior year at Xaverian High School. I have been swimming competitively since I was seven years old. I have partaken in different sports, like basketball, but neither clicked for me like swimming did. I absolutely love swimming - the speed and feel of the water just enthrall me. I would definitely consider myself a very hard worker. I am blessed with athleticism and smarts, but I do not stop there - I will work until the very end to improve myself in both departments. Over the past few years especially, I have seen considerable improvements in both my academic and athletic career that I am very proud of. I hope that under your guidance and expertise, I can harness my natural abilities and my astonishing work ethic to break records and accomplish the unthinkable.

During the 2020 season, I was 13 years of age. I was swimming 6 days a week before the strike of the COVID-19 pandemic. During quarantine, I was not able to swim with my team, but trained under the guidance of my parents in workouts targeted to improve my strength and endurance. During the summer, swimming became an option again, and I swam 3 to 4 days a week. The latter half of 2020 was filled with competitions and regular practice schedules in which I was training 5 days a week.
2019 Freedom Aquatics Swimming (Select Performance)
During the 2019 season, I was 12 years old. I was swimming regularly, about 6 days a week, and competing amongst swimmers in my state every month.
