Seminarian: Is swimming your favorite sport?
Gina Ungaro: Swimming has always been my favorite sport. I have been a swimmer longer than any other sport I played.
Sem: Why do you swim?
GU: I have been swimming for ten years now, so it has become a major part of my life. The sport keeps me active and motivated.
Sem: If you were to start your swimming career from scratch, what would you change and why?
GU: Since I have been swimming for so long, I reached my “peak” of the sport when I was younger. If I could go back, I would make sure my “peak” occurred while in high school, so I could accomplish more things at a higher level of the sport.
Sem: What kind of things do you do in the off season to make yourself a better swimmer?
GU: I swim all year round for other teams and do land training.
Sem: How do you feel after receiving a plethora of accomplishments over the past 4 years?
GU: It’s a very good feeling knowing that all the hard work paid off.
Sem: Finally, how would you like this upcoming season to end?
GU: I would like to qualify in all my events to districts for my fourth year and place well there.
