“There are so many reasons I love swimming. It’s a great activity for physical and mental health. But now, going from an age group club swimmer, to national level swimmer, to college student-athlete and now a “swammer” on a masters team, the reason I love swimming is the feel of the water. It’s very comforting for me to be in the water and it’s such a unique feeling. You can’t find the same feeling anywhere else. Swimming is my inner peace!” –Joanna Wu,
