Julio's Story

My passion is swimming.

I discovered my passion for swimming my freshmen year when I started being told that if I kept up my hard work I could probably swim at the next level. Swimming has also helped me get into the best shape I can be and this has fired up my passion for swimming even more. I think swimming is the most challenging sport I've played and the bigger the challenge the more inclined I am to take it on. Last year I discovered how talented I really am at swimming when I realized most of the events I was placed in were with seniors and I was keeping up with and even beating them. I realized swimming really fires up my competitive spirit.

A Note from Ms. Rodriguez, Julio's Teacher

Julio is a prime candidate for the US Sports Nike Swim Camp because he is what many coaches call "coachable" meaning he internalizes feedback and uses it to improve. He would improve greatly by attending this intensive low athlete to coach ratio program because he has the right attitude. I think that attending this program would greatly increases Julio's chances of making a college team and possibly being offered a scholarship to do so.
