When I started
I started swim lessons when I was about 5.
How I started
I started going to swim lessons each summer and instantly loved it from day one.
Why I love it
What I enjoy most about swimming is tuning everything else out around me. I'm able to put aside my worries and just focus on the feel of the water. When I'm in the pool I can totally unplug and get away from everything.
How I stay motivated
I stay motivated by reminding myself that swimming makes me stronger and more fit. I'm swimming in a meet this year for the first time in a LONG time so I'm trying to get in decent shape for that!
