Natalie Quirk - Brittany Barracudas
This 8 year old swimmer had a rough time last year
at the age of 7, changing from only free and back to all the
strokes. She would come to practice at the beginning of the

because the strokes were so hard for her. With her perseverance
and determination along with the support of her coaches and
parents, she finally got the hang of breaststroke and butterfly

team's inspiration that you truly can accomplish anything
you set your mind to. When you swim against us watch out for
this wonderful swimmer.
