- im still swimming for my high school- just not club team
---and i'm not talking to college coaches for swimming or anything- because i don't want to swim too competitively in college- focus more on academics. Will this hurt my chances or have any effect? i may play water polo intramurals</p>

- I can comprehend and speak spanish(but not perfectly fluent), and comprehend chinese but can't speak very well</p>
