Hi, my name is Chase and I am 10 years old. I am in the fifth grade. When I am not swimming, I like to play with my friends outside and ride my bike. I also love to play sports! One of my best swimming memories was moving up from level 1 to level 2 for the first time. I have kept all of my patches and have them all together with my certificates in my room. I have them up on one of my shelves on display. My favorite stroke is the breaststroke. Swimming has changed my life by knowing how to swim and not being scared to get in the ocean or the pool. I like the teachers the most at Charlotte Aquatics, especially Mr. Mike. My favorite memory from Charlotte Aquatics is meeting and having different teachers and different swim friends in all of my classes.
