Lena Nakken '21 Recruiting Profile

Hi my name is Lena Nakken(it's Norwegian)!  I have been swimming since that age of 6.  After completing the swim program at our local YMCA, I was told about swim clubs in the area, so I joined one and have been swimming competitively ever since.  When I was in 7th grade I began swimming Varsity for my high school; however I am considered an independent swimmer.  I've managed to maintain a 3.0 GPA while swimming 6 days a week.  My goal is to continue to swim at the collegiate level and become a special education teacher.  I love working with kids as much as I love swimming.  Speaking of work, one of my motto's is "hard work pays off"!
