I swam backstroke and freestyle for year for my town's swim team. Unfortunately for me, there were several talented people my own age who swam all of the various strokes well, so I was always competing out of my age group.
When I was 15, I finished third in the state of SC in the backstroke swimming in the 17 and over category. That's the only accomplishment I ever had in a sporting event. But I came from a family of sports champions. My dad, mom, and brother all earned trophies and prizes in various sports.
