Personal Statement

Swimming has been a lifetime commitment for me.  Starting at the age of 6, I have progressed from local to international competitions.  Swimming has given me so many opportunities and experiences that I know I will never forget.  It continuously teaches me the values of dedication and persistence, making me a better person both in and out of the pool.  However, over my 11 years of experience, the most important thing I have learned is the importance of teammates and a good team atmosphere.  As such, I organize many events for the Senior Kingfish group such as breakfasts after practice, Secret Santa's and Laser tag.  I also try to be approachable on deck as I am seen as a leader. I do this by always keeping a positive attitude towards everything and everyone.  In the future, I would like to attend a program that offers many opportunities outside of the pool to establish connections with teammates.   Also, I would like for it to challenge me academically and athletically as I work best under a tight schedule.

Thank you very much for reading my little blurb on myself and I hope I peak your interest in becoming a member of your program.
