Get to know Abby... At what age did you start swimming and how did you get into the sport?
I started swimming when I was 4 years old. I got into the sport because I loved being in the water and my older brother swam. As I kept swimming, I fell in love with the sport.
Who is a role model in your life that pushed you to be better in and out of the pool?
One of my club coaches, Mary Liston. She always believed in me. She showed me what it looks like to lead with kindness, strength, and encouragement. She taught me that happiness is a choice and inspired me to approach swim and life with a better mindset.
