I See My Goals As Personal And I Always Have. That's Just Been How I've Worked.

I Grew Up Around The Pool With My Sisters. Both Of My Sisters Swam. I Was Always There. So I Thought, Why Not? My Mom Put Us In The Water For Water Safety, So We Were Comfortable In The Water In Case Anything Ever Happened. I Learned That Way, And Started Liking It More And More.
