I have been swimming for almost 12 years, I started swimming at my local pool when I was around 5 years old and I fell in love with the sport. I have been competing competitively ever since, and I hope to be able to continue after high school, at the collegiate level. I am always striving to improve and grow as an athlete, and I am always looking for help. I consider myself a very coachable athlete because I am respectful to my coaches, and I am able to form good relationships between myself and my coaches. I believe having a strong athlete-coach relationship is important because I am able to communicate with my coach. A recent achievement of mine was dropping 5 seconds in the 50 free, going from 31.89s to 27.11s. As a student, I always try my hardest to receive the grades I deserve. I am looking for a college that will be able to challenge me as an athlete and as a student.
