Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
competitive, ambitious, sociable, persistent, honest
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
I won my first medal at the Catalan Championships and I made the cut in four events at my first Spanish Winter Nationals after only training for one month and after almost three months without swimming prior to that. That was my best swimming memory ever because I did not expect to improve my personal best times that much after living in Canada for ten weeks and not being able to swim because of that. I think that would not have been possible without practising cross country in Canada, which improved by stamina tremendously.
Goals:
My goals are improving a lot at swimming and being able to combine it with college all while improving my English level!
Anything else we should know?
I consider myself a very competitive and ambitious person who loves to compete in a team!
