It's no surprise, coming from a family of breaststrokers, that Colin would become one himself. Having spent the entirety of his life around water, Colin learned at a young age what it means to be a team-player, the importance of good sportsmanship, and the need to set goals and strive to achieve them. Also a member of both the Palisades High School Pumas and Planters Walk Waves swim teams, Colin pushes to best himself each and every time he gets into the water. Colin follows his coach's mantra "Chase Times, Not People" - remembering the importance of always striving for your best and focusing on being better today than you were yesterday. And why waste time on only one sport? Colin is an avid skier as well as golfer on the Palisades Golf team.

As if he isn't busy enough, Colin is a recent Eagle Scout, crediting his Scouting journey for helping to shape the young man he is today. Continuing to be an active member of his Troop, he is "paying it forward", serving as Den Chief and Troop Guide to mentor the younger boys in the Troop and teach them the valuable life skills that he learned. When Colin does find bit of downtime, you'd better look for him in the kitchen. As an amateur chef, Colin has delighted countless friends & family with his delectable entrees, mouthwatering desserts and artistic plating. Looking towards the future, Colin is planning a career in finance and economics, with the goal of working on global economics. Already getting a jump start on college as a student at Harper Middle College is no surprise, given his drive for success.

Allison began swimming at a young age after taking swim lessons as a child and started competing in league swimming in 2019. Multiple years swimming short-course and long-course seasons with the UPYMCA Rays, along with multiple seasons of summer swim league, and three years on the Palisades High School swim team has given Allison the technical experience necessary for swim instruction. After serving a couple of summers as a Junior Coach for the Planters Walk Waves swim team, Allison was ready to up her game and join the Just Swim family, excited to help the next generation of young swimmers find their passion for the sport that she loves. In addition to swimming, Allison also competes on the Palisades High School varsity tennis team.

Outside of athletics, Allison has a strong passion for science and plans to major in civil engineering. As a high school junior, she is currently touring schools looking to find her collegiate home. No doubt Allison will find her place - she is a leader in the Palisades High School Science National Honor Society and is currently the valedictorian of the Class of 2027. As a decorated student athlete, community volunteer, and student leader, Allison will have a significant impact on which ever university she chooses to begin the next chapter in her already successful life.
