What is your most memorable swimming/diving moment? Why?
My most memorable swimming moment was standing behind the block at the WAC conference meet before the finals of the 100 yard butterfly my freshman year. I was so nervous but having all of my teammates yelling and cheering for me at the other end of the lane was such a great feeling. Swimming a best time was the cherry on top.
