Grace Endaya | UCSB Swimming Ep. 27

On today’s Podcast, we're thrilled to have Grace Endaya from the UC Santa Barbara's esteemed swimming team. Today, we're diving into the life, challenges, and triumphs of a swimmer who's not only making waves in the pool but also setting an example of excellence in and out of the water. Our conversation addresses early memories of swimming, tracing their journey from splashing in a local pool to representing UCSB at the highest collegiate levels. We'll uncover what it takes to be a part of such a competitive team, from the grueling training sessions and strict diets to the mental toughness required to face rivals in the water. Listeners will get a firsthand account of a typical day in the life of a UCSB swimmer, the personal and team goals that drive them, and how they manage the pressure of competition while maintaining academic excellence. Grace also shares their most memorable moments from meets, the feeling of representing UCSB, and how they envision their future in swimming.
