Best Part of Swimming with Alto: “I love how my teammates are always there for me, pushing me to keep going when a workout gets really challenging. Having them by my side reminds me that we’re in this together and it makes even the hardest sets fun.”
Most Challenging Workout with Alto: “Our 100x100s set at OTC last December was a pretty challenging set. I remember being sore for a few days after that.”
Favorite Meet with Alto: “Our Summer Sectionals meet in July was really fun. I loved the energy of our team with everyone cheering for each other’s swims. Other moments we spent together outside the pool - like dinner and the bus rides - were just as memorable and made the experience even better.”
