Did you know that only 9% of high school swimmers will compete in the NCAA?

While there is are differences between swimming D1, D2 and D3, all three divisions are extremely competitive. College swimming is about finding your perfect fit and where you will thrive. A division does not define that. πŸ’ͺπŸ§ πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸ©΅

Did you know that followership is an underrated leadership quality on a team?

Sport psychologist Megan Cannon, Ph.D. shares that it’s not just about the vocal leaders - the leaders who help the rest of the group join in so that everyone can move forward together are just as essential.

Look for the leadership opportunities that play to your strengths and make sense to you. You can become a better leader as yourself rather than trying to be someone else.

Kelsi Dahlia showed the girls how to make their butterfly more efficient through maximizing their kick and pull, having a low breath and a speedy recovery!

Control what you can control!

It’s about who can work the hardest. Who shows up everyday and gives 100% of what they have. Who does the right things outside of practice to be ready to give everything each day.

We know Lilly King is one of the hardest workers ever, one of the many reasons we could listen to her keynote over and over again πŸ©΅βœ¨πŸ†
