Elena is a cool, quiet and level headed young swimmer but also a fierce competitor. Her progress has been mesmerizing. She loves swim BIG!
Thank you for generously supporting Elena in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
I would say she loves her sport because she is making friends, learning from her youth coaches and is making wonderful memories!
Her big brothers. Watching them train hard day in and day out, eat healthy, stretch and stick to a consistent recovery and sleep schedule gave her a great foundation to what it means to be an athlete.
Watching her walk fearlessly into the Georgia Tech pool area at six years old to complete in the County Swim meet for the first time while I was getting anxiety just looking at the size and depth of that pool. Not a drop of fear, no tears, just joy. I knew then this was her sport!
