ALTO AGE GROUP SWIMMER OF THE MONTH: AVERY GARCIA

Avery Garcia joined Alto this fall and has already brought an inspiring energy and dedication to the team. She’s a supportive teammate with a strong work ethic, both in practice and in competition. Avery is a first-time Age Group Championship qualifier this fall. At the DACA Meet in October, Avery qualified for Age Group Champs in all her events and has since added more qualifications along with Far Westerns cuts in the 200 Free, 50 Fly, and 100 Free.

Avery trains in the Age Group 3 group with Coach Joe and has shown her commitment by starting off the year with an 87% attendance rate. We are excited to see her perform at her first Age Group Championships and look forward to her continued growth in the program. Congratulations, Avery!
