Personal Statement
I am Danielle Galyer, and I have been swimming year round at Y-Spartaquatics for 6 years. This past summer I swam at Long Course Senior Nationals and Junior Nationals in Palo Alto. During Senior Nats I made an Olympic Trial cut in the 200 backstroke. I am .07 away from a trial cut in the 100 Back. I have been on the varsity swim team at my high school for 4 years, since 8th grade. I just turned 16 years old. I am 5'8" and 140 pounds. I won the 100m back as a fourteen year old at 2010 Long Course YMCA Nationals. I got 2nd at SC 4A high school swimming state meet in the 500yd free. I work well with others, and I love to encourage my teammates when they are down. I love the feeling of accomplishing a hard practice. I am looking for a school that has a great academic program for my major, exercise science, and a good swim team. I would love to go to a school that is perfect for me, academically and in swimming. I would love to get a chance to swim at the highest level possible, and to make a great impact in the team and my teammates.
