Personal Statement
I have swam with my club team for about 13 years and three years in high school. I am in my junior year of academics and sports. In my years of club swimming, I achieved a lot of placings and went to Central Zones for the 1650 when I was 14. I attended the Junior Olympics a few times. In high school, I have competed in Districts and State both freshman, sophomore, and junior year. I am a six-time district champion in the 500 and 200 yard freestyle. I am an 10 time All-Ohio swimmer from State. I made podium in the 500 my junior year as well - placing 8th. My fastest 500 freestyle time is 5:03.83. My fastest 200 yard freestyle time is 1:54.00. I also compete in the two freestyle relays, the 200 and the 400. My fastest splits from those relays are a 24.63 in the 200 and a 52.74 in the 400. My future goals are to break five minutes in the 500 and break 1:50 in the 200. I hope to improve my sprinting within the shorter events, such as for the relays. I also hope to improve my swimming overall because there is always something to work on. I would be a good candidate for college swim teams because I love to practice, I love to work hard and knowing everyday that I am getting better. My passion is swimming; it has been my whole life.
