Why UNF?
"I right away enjoyed my zoom calls with Coach Ian and could see myself swimming for him, I feel as if we will get along well and he will give me the proper training I am looking for. When I came on my recruiting trip, I loved all the girls on the team and felt so welcomed making me feel like this team was the right fit for me. I also loved the campus and the pool is so nice and new. UNF also had my major and I heard good things about the kinesiology program there. Overall, it had everything I was looking for."
