    Get to Know Sarah

    What inspired you to pursue your sport?

    I swam before I walked. The water has always felt safe, where my body feels free from limitations. At 6 years old I joined the swim team. It was then I found an even bigger passion for the water. An appreciation of sport and pushing myself beyond what I thought was possible.

    What are your Go Beyond achievements and milestones in your sporting career?

    I would say becoming a breaststroker in 2021 was the most challenging and rewarding choice of my Para-Swimming career. In 2021 I was internationally classified as only a breaststroke my worst stroke at the times. After being disqualified in 2022 I was determined to witness myself become my best. 2023 I would break 3 American Records and be selected and win bronze at the Parapan American Games 2023. In 2024 I would swim lifetime best times at multiple races.

    Why did you choose to work with H2O Audio?

    I love they use bone conduction headphones

    How has H2O Audio enhanced your training and performance?

    I love music, I grew up singing, playing instruments along with swimming. Having them together using h20 audio has been a dream come true. It has the best soundquality.

    What is your favorite music or playlist to listen to during workouts, and what type of workout do you use it for?

    Mike my partner is a spin DJ. Makes the best playlists for workouts. My favorite right now are Neyo x Bruno Brittany, Doja Cat, Ava Max.

    Can you share a memorable moment or story from your training where using H2O Audio waterproof headphones made a significant difference?

    Swam my fastest times in practice. Having the beat mixed with the voice of the artist helped me push a little further.

    How do H2O Audio waterproof headphones help you stay motivated during tough training sessions or competitions?

    Getting into a flow state is the key to being relaxed and doing your very best. For me having music helps me get into that flow state easier to achieve success for whatever the set or race is.

    What advice do you have for aspiring athletes?

    Keep learning, and growing into the best you. If sport can help go for it. You never know unless you try.
