My name is Dentin DePriest, and I'm from a small town in Montana of only 1,154 people. I started swimming competitively when I was 6 years old for the Chinook Lions Swim Team. Since then, I've developed my skills by going to practice every day during the summer season, as well as going to camps and exercising regularly during the winter.  I am skilled in the Breaststroke and I was the Montana Federation of Swimmers State Champion from 2014-2024.  I hold 41 Gold Medals from my swimming career along with 12 Silver and 4 Bronze Medals.
