Q: Have you had any challenges or obstacles during your swimming career and how did you face them?

A: “One of the biggest challenges was having my wisdom teeth surgery during the season. It is kind of hard to swim distance whenever you constantly have a headache from surgery, and even before that my teeth were causing me pain. But, I did what I could do, and I tried my best at practice. I didn’t let it ruin my attitude and in a few weeks, I was back to making improvements.” 

Q: What is your advice for younger students on the team?

A: “It is not easy. At all. Especially if you are new to the sport, you are going to have to learn a lot of new things, like the different strokes. You need to come to practice with a good attitude and don’t give up on yourself. The only way to get better is to practice, it doesn’t just happen overnight.”
