What does it mean to be a good teammate? Why is it important to your success? What is one thing you do to help others around you?

It means uplifting those around you and helping others see their own potential. Doing super well doesn’t equate to me being successful, helping others has always been my goal and when I see those around me improve that means I’ve done something well. Since I’ve been swimming most of my life I’ve seen lots of technique and just giving little advice to my teammates is something I do to help them during practice so that they can put it towards the meets!
