Swim and Dive Team

I have been doing competitive swimming and diving for over ten years now. From learning new skills and improving current ones, I fell in love with the sport and the environment. I enjoyed helping our coaches by teaching the younger kids their new dives and helping the team improve. The competitive environment was motivating, but how the team became family was what made the sport so enjoyable. I was on varsity all four years of High School, and it was hard to let the sport go once college rolled around. I always go back to my team in the summer to help out during practices and show the new members of the team how great it feels to be in that environment.
