Hello my name is Alecia McGillivray. Welcome to my website and please check back often as I will keep it updated with current pictures, meet and general information about swimming.
A little about myself; I am 15 years old and have been club swimming since I was about 7. I am currently a member of LAC (Lakeside Aquatic Club) and USA Swimming. I typically practice about 5 days a week and swim 10 to 12 swim meets a year in the “A” Division. My best strokes are Free and Back, my weakest stroke is Butterfly, but I am working on that.
I started swim lessons when I was 4, and when I was 7 my swim Coach Maggie suggested I join club swimming. She taught me strokes and flip turns so I would be prepared. I thank her for inspiring me to go further in the sport.
I have qualified for TAGS (Texas Age Group Swimming) championships for 5 years in a row. Through the years I have earned 17 medals and over 200 ribbons for top level finishes in various events.
My goal is to qualify for the 2012 or 2016 Olympics. Until then I will be working hard in club swimming and participate in high school swimming. I realize I have a lot of work ahead of me but I enjoy what I do and it will be worth the efforts.
