Personal Statement
Hi, I am Dominique Sauger, but I go by Nika. I am 17 years old and a Junior at Oakton High School.
I started swimming with York swim club in 6th grade, I was about 12, and I have continued my swimming career with them because they provide a program like no other and have taught me skills inside and outside the pool.
Swimming is a big part of my life and has taught me leadership skills and how to have good work ethic. It has also been a way for me to de-stress and make friends, that's why I want to continue swimming into my college years.
I believe I can bring a lot to a college swim team because I strive for the next step and always work hard to get there. Also, I have a lot of leadership skills and love to be there for my team members in and outside of the pool.
This is why I am a great candidate for college swimming because I bring more to the table then fast times and points, I am a team player who will work hard and provide leadership for all.
