When I started
I started swimming when I was as little as three. I had never been in any swimming lessons as a child. I had started to take diving courses throughout high school. Then started taking aquatic water safety & rescue (WSI, Lifeguarding, & LGI)
How I started
I started to learn how to swim by my mom, putting me in a life jacket. One day I asked her not to put it on and I was fully able to swim!
Why I love it
I love being in the water because it gives me the sensation of being totaly free of body limitations. I can dive, do a couple flipps!
How I stay motivated
I all ways loved the deep water. As long as I can see the bottom and not be able to the bottom when I first jump/dive in I love it!
Accomplishments
I had become a Lifeguard in 2008, a Water Safety Instructor (WSI) in 2009, a Lifeguard Instructor in 2009, a Aquatic Emergency Response Tech. in 2009! I love to be in the water and around the water.
Additional Info
I am currently enrolled in a Emergency Medical Tech./Paramedic Training program. I will be a certified Paramedic in 2010!
