I swim on a swim team called LAMVAC (Los Altos Mountain View Aquatic Club), located at Eagle Park Pool. I swim Monday to Friday for two hours each day and I swim in meets on the weekends every so often. Something I love about my team is that we range in ages from five year olds to eighteen year olds and my team is very small so we are a very tight-knit community. Currently, I am in the second highest training group and my favorite thing about swimming is to watch my progress as I continue to become faster and better.
In my free time, I love to read and spend time at the library. my mom also loves to read, so it's something nice that we share. I read many genres, but my favorites are romance, fantasy, mystery, and general fiction. I like to set goals for myself at the start of the year for how many books I want to read in that year. For 2025, my goal is 85 books. In 2024, I had a goal of 45 books and I doubled it. Reading is a really nice way for me to relax and is something that I enjoy spending hours at a time doing.
My family loves to eat and try foods, and while my brother is more of a cook than me, I love baking. Whenever we have super ripe bananas in the house, I make banana bread, or duing the holidays I love making cookies. My favorite things to bake are muffins. I have a cookbook of a bunch of different muffin recipes and during COVID, while I had nothing to do all day, I tried making all kinds of different muffins for my family to try.
