Micaela Martinez '20 Recruiting Profile

    Growing up, I was a military child, so things were always changing. I just learned to adapt. The only thing constant in my life was swimming. Swimming was the thing that got me through moving to new states, new schools, and new friends every 3 years. It gave me the ability to be strong mentally when physically I wanted to quit. Swimming gave me the tenacity and the power that allowed me to overcome obstacles head on both in the pool and in school. It is because of my ability to adapt, to overcome, my determination, and my tenacity that I hope to swim at the college level and ultimately, become an Olympic swimmer. This is what sets me apart from everyone else. This is why, I believe, that I would be a good candidate for a college swim team.
