"I didn't really know that Para swimming was a route that I could take until I got to college. I had this unique kind of position within the sport, and I didn't really know there was competition for people that were like me who were obviously differently abled than more traditional athletes in their respective sports. I've been swimming my whole life, so it was just kind of a transition to learn how to swim without sight during that whole process." (teamusa.org, 10 Jun 2021)
