Shout Out:
Kate Lundsten for giving me the training and preparation to qualify and get the opportunity. Also for being a great and fun coach who always puts the team first.
My mom and dad for always believing in me and helping me achieve my goals not only in the water but out of the water too.
My teammates, if it weren't for my teammates I have on Aqua jets and throughout swimming I would not be nearly as good as I am now. They push me everyday in practice and are the reason I enjoy what I do.
Anything Else?:
I do enjoy swimming, but if I could switch my skills from swimming to golfing I would instantly.
