From a young age, I fell in love with swimming and soon began competing. I traveled representing the club, won many medals, hit qualifying times, and dreamed of pursuing a career as an athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 15 years old, I wanted to venture into the sea, but my mother wouldn\u2019t allow it, thinking it was too dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Rio de Janeiro, there was a famous race called \u201cKing and Queen of the Sea,\u201d and at the time, I had a strong chance of winning awards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time went by, and at 18, I finally began training in the sea with an excellent team in Rio. However, I also needed to study and work, so swimming ended up taking second (or even third) place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the hustle and bustle of life, I spent quite some time away from the pool. Later, I decided to move here, and last year I discovered Swim4Fun \u2014 which reignited the spark in my eyes for this world that has always been my passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope to make new friends here and never drift away from swimming again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lara<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comecei nesse mundo aqu\u00e1tico ainda beb\u00ea, com apenas um aninho, por causa de problemas respirat\u00f3rios.
