Leila Nasrallah '24 Recruiting Profile

Aloha coaches!  My name is Leila and I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Growing up in Hawaii, I lived in bikinis and played in the water all day long.  I started swimming in a club at 4 years old, simply because it was too hot to play any land sports.  Being in the water whether in the ocean or in the pool always makes me feel free, which is what drives my passion to swim every day.  I have always been told that I have a great feel for the water and I take that to heart during every practice because I know that it is not something that can be taught.  

I just finished my sophomore year with a 3.95 GPA.  I am training hard toward getting my first Junior National cut and more Futures cuts.  Throughout my swimming career, my strengths have always evolved every season and it still continues to change.  Currently, my best stroke is long distance freestyle and butterfly but I am excited to see what I can achieve in other events as well.  My additional goal this year is to incorporate more dry land training.  

I am also very fortunate to have great coaches who persistently guide me to be the best swimmer that I can possibly be.  I hope my collegiate swimming career to be just an extension of what I currently have.  Great coaches, great teammates and great practices.   

When I am not at the pool training, you will always find me surfing, diving or hanging out with my friends at the beach.  I believe balance in life is what keeps me grounded and focused in life.  I will continue to keep this as my reminder to conquer futures goals.
