Swimming since
I started swimming when I was 14
Favorite event
It’s currently a tie between the 100 fly and the 200 breast
Favorite Masters meet
2024 state meet at Wayne State University is easily #1. I swam really well and had so much fun with all my friends on deck! - **What is your favorite set?** pick any event from a 25 free all the way up to a 400 IM, and race it all out for time, trying to beat my previous best. I then swim 100-200 easy, pick another event and repeat until practice is over. I’ve trained like this every day since starting masters swimming. - **What is something you need to improve or constantly working on in the pool?** I need to start doing kick sets again, I lost a few close races this year because i didn’t quite have the legs coming home - **What are your big swim goal(s)?**I actually just hit my biggest 2 goals for masters swimming in the past year, one was to go a personal best time in my 30s, and the other was to be sub-minute in the 100 fly in my 30s. I think my main goal right now is to keep with it as life with kids gets busier. - **Favorite swim Olympian?** Caleb Dressel, he always looks like he’s having a lot of fun - **What do you like to do outside the pool?** going to the beach with my family, hiking, spending time with friends, building apps for Apple’s platforms, trolling Andrew McFee (fellow Stray Cats swimmer)
