As a Division 1 student-athlete on the Vanderbilt's women's swim team. During my time on the team my role involves balancing rigorous academic responsibilities with intense athletic commitments. Daily tasks include attending early morning practices, where you work on perfecting stroke techniques, enhancing endurance, and building strength through both in-water and dryland training sessions. In addition to physical training, I regularly met with coaches to review performance, set goals, and strategize for upcoming competitions. I was also expected to maintain a strong academic standing, often juggling coursework, study sessions, and exams while traveling for meets.
