Personal Statement
Hello.
My name is Lexy King. I am a 16 year old speed swimmer specializing in distance freestyle and IM.
I have been swimming since I was 7 and plan to swim competitively during university, although I am still undecided on a career path.
I am in a french immersion program, maintain a 85% average and will graduate with a bilingual status.
Currently I practice 10 times per week for approximately 23 hours of swimming plus an additional 3 hours of dryland and specialized weight training (new this year).
I have a strong work ethic, and rarely miss practice as I constantly aspire to improve my technique, endurance and times. I am a team leader, helping to motivate my team mates to success and acting as a role model for the other swimmers in my club. I have been awarded the most improved swimmer and most sportsmanlike swimmer numerous times.
I have had the good fortune to travel across Canada to compete and train, and have competed in the USA as well. Recently I attended a Christmas training camp in Calgary, Alberta with a former Canadian Olympic Coach and in November I attended a training session at the High Performance Centre in Toronto, Ont.
Thank you for your time and attention to my profile.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Lexy King
