Grace

My name is Grace Gray, and I'm sixteen years old. I enjoy swimming and playing soccer, and I aspire to be a nurse. I take time to manage my own life, work, school, and friends. I started working at the YMCA in early June 2022. I chose to work at the YMCA because I felt it was a safe and welcoming environment for me, it was the furthest away from me, but I wanted to really work here. I practice soccer and swimming, hang out with friends and family, and visit the parks around town regularly. I want to go to college for nursing, as I want to become a nurse practitioner. I wanted to become a lifeguard to learn the skills I most definitely will need to learn to get my degree, such as acting on instinct and learning to connect with people. I wanted to become a swim instructor as I love kids and teaching. When children are introduced to swimming, it is important for them to have a caring and well-focused instructor to trust and have fun with.
- Favorite swimming stroke? Butterfly, most people hate it, but it's number one in my book.
- Favorite pool game? Marco polo, you can leave the pool at any time and fool everyone around you because they can't see.
- Which high school did you attend? What was your mascot? I attend Pueblo County High School, and my school's mascot is the Hornet.
- Favorite popsicle flavor? Orange Creamsicle, it's the best citrus flavor out there.
- Indoor Pool or Outdoor Pool? Indoor pool, there's no need for the tan lines.
