Johnson, at the tender age of 12, is the veteran of the group. Not only has she been swimming longer than most of her teammates, she swam at the Zone Meet last year in Colorado. Johnson, who first started swimming at age 5, has been competing in the pool for the past two years. I'm just going to try to relax and have fun. Johnson is following in the footsteps of her older sister, Melissa, who has competed at Junior Nationals and is now preparing to launch her college career at Fresno State.
Swimming is a family affair for most of the competitors.
Christina George and her sister, Diana, got their feet wet at about the same time. With the encouragement of their instructor, both joined a summer league swim team, though that's vastly different than what awaits Christina George in Maui. I still get nervous before an event. Once I dive in, I feel better. Farrington, inspired by his older sisters Samantha and Emily, has really taken to the sport after five years of competitive swimming.
