swimming

The start of my leg of the 4x100 free relay. (1991, at age 16)

I've been swimming competitively for most of my life. In high school, I swam for a club team (Glendale Arizona Swimming Gauchos) with 9-11 workouts per week. These days I'm lucky to swim 4 days in a week. I took a break from swimming in college since I wasn't fast enough to swim for the University of Arizona. In grad school, I took up the sport again and swam for Berkeley Aquatic Masters, and later for Strawberry Canyon Aquatic Masters. In New York, I swam on my own at Coles Gym and the Palladium. I currently swim with Team Fuego at Cal. I try to compete in at least one swim meet each year, and do one open water swim each year.
