Biography

Why Niagara?
"I chose Niagara because I believe it’s the best school to get me to where I want to be in life. The smaller class sizes are perfect for me because I can build a better relationship with my teachers. I also want to be a part of a swim program that is on the rise under a great coach who pushes his athletes and is going to push me to be my best every day. The school is small, but very friendly and I can’t wait to get up there and be a part of the Niagara family."
