Personal Statement

I have been swimming competitively since I was six years old and what was once just a fun activity has turned into a passion. Prior to my Junior year I was a 4 sport athlete, volleyball, swimming, competitive shooting (archery, rifle, trap) and track and field. However, this year (2022-23) I have decided to focus solely on swimming in order to improve my times in an attempt to swim in college, preferable a D1 school.  I am a sprinter by nature and my best strokes are Free and Back, but I LOVE swimming all 4 strokes.   While my best events are the 50-100’s I am willing to work hard and swim any event needed to help the team be successful.  I particularly love relay events because while winning is great, it's much more enjoyable to me when I am able to work hard as a team and celebrate success with others.  I am a focused and list/goal oriented both in the classroom and in the pool and I strive to do my best in everything I do.
