Ali Blondell

Favorite event: 50 and 100 fly
Favorite Masters meet: I’m torn between Spring Nationals in Irvine or this past summer Nationals in Indy.
Favorite set: I secretly love doing fly sprint sets. My training buddy has me hooked on the Micheal Phelps fly set: 30×50 where you cycle through drill, kick , and all out fly.
What they're working on: Lately I have been working on staying low in my fly, but I am constantly focused on my underwater.
Big goals: To keep having fun. I was extremely burnt out after college and completely stopped for 7 years. I have a love for the sport again and really enjoy the friendships that I’ve made. Hopefully my kids will keep loving the water and someday maybe they will want to swim too!
Favorite Olympian: Kate Douglass. The variety of events that she can swim is phenomenal.
Outside the pool: Traveling or anything outside! In the summers I love to camp or spend time at the lake boating or paddle boarding. I also enjoy spending time with my kids
