I love the sport of swimming, and it is my dream to continue competing at the college level. I am known as a hard worker and will do everything in my power to improve my abilities. I have been swimming year round since I was 7 years old and I can't imagine doing anything else. I think one of the characteristics that make me stand out is the value I place on team. The more we encourage each other and the harder we work together, the better swimmers we all are. When teammates work together, competition is more fun and effective! I also consider academics an important value as a student athlete. It would be my honor to swim in college, and I look forward to being able to get stronger and faster through the next few years.
