I am looking to start a swim team at Khan Lab School to give students an opportunity to compete, train, and build a stronger community through swimming. I have been swimming competitively for several years and currently compete with Santa Clara Swim Club. I have raced at the competitive level, achieved USA Swimming B standards, and have experience competing in multiple events, including freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, and IM. I also recently made varsity cross country, giving me additional experience with competitive athletics and team training.

I would like to use my experience in competitive swimming to help build and organize a KLS swim team, create practices that are welcoming to swimmers of different skill levels, and eventually compete against other schools. My goal is not only to create a competitive team, but also to give KLS students a new sport where they can challenge themselves, make friends, and represent our school.
