Hi coaches! My name is Kristen Baker and I am currently swimming for the YMCA league along with my high school team. Not only am I one to adapt very well to a variety of environments, I thrive best when I am pushed and encouraged to work hard. I can often stimulate motivation for myself and enjoy motivating and encouraging my team mates and am always thankful for any opportunities to prove my skill and hard work. The program I currently swim for is not an extremely competitive program yet pushes me to work my hardest. It leaves room for college improvement as weight lifting is individual and minimal. Practices in the water are often still very intense which helps to shape my hard working and dedicated attitude. I'm looking forward to working with you, coaches, and am extremely excited for my college career to begin!
