I’m passionate about writing other people’s stories. I’ve found that other people’s journeys makes me understand a lot more about my own. Thus, I believe it’s my turn to share how I became consumed by this sport. Somehow swimming uprooted me to another country, and today I am finishing my junior year at the University of West Florida while doing what I love the most. Now, I was never the fastest swimmer, but I sure have a story.
I was very young when I realized I loved the water. Growing up in a family of swimmers made me more connected to the environment than most of the people at my age. My first memories include going to swim meets every weekend, even though I didn’t understand a thing about them. All I knew was that my brothers were there, so we all went to watch them.
Like every little girl, I loved playing mermaid. But it was not just the fins, the glittery outfits and the beautiful long hair that made me like it. I loved being underwater. When I opened my eyes and all I could see was a deep blue place, I felt powerful. I would feel as if I had discovered a whole new world of my own, where anything could happen. And so my parents taught me how to swim my first strokes and my brothers showed me how to dive in from a block.
