My name is Nadia Hernandez and I’ve been swimming as long as I can remember. Swimming is a big part of my life. It’d be amazing if I can get into the college of my dreams this way. I am a dedicated, persistent, and a hard working person and will let nothing stand in my way from achieving my goals. I am also a great teammate, being positive and cheering on my teammates as much as I can. This brings me a sense of community, seeing my teammates flourish while while I do the same. I love seeing my teammates grow throughout the season whether it be our times or our friendships, it’s one of the things I enjoy most in this sport. Whenever I can’t make it to something (practice especially) I will communicate it to you directly as soon as something comes up. I will always let you know how I’m feeling so we can work things out together. My biggest goal in life is to succeed both physically and mentally. This can be grades, social life, career decisions, etc. I hope I can make this goal possible with throughout this process because I’d wish to continue swimming in this new chapter of my life.
