What advice do you have for anyone learning to swim? BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF! Try to focus on one thing at a time and everything will start coming together the harder you work!

Why did you get involved in swimming? I was jealous that my brother and sister were swimming and I wasn’t, so I was able to start swimming for summer league when I was super young.
