A big mahalo to my family, friends, teammates, and coaches for supporting and helping me along the way! I can’t wait to be a part of such an amazing ohana as a rainbow wahine! GO BOWS!!!!????”
A talented butterflyer and freestyler, Chow does her club swimming with Fullerton Aquatics Sports Team and earned a pair of best times at the TYR 18&U Spring Cup – Irvine in April where her highest finish was a 13th-place showing in the 400m free. She also flew to 13th in the 200 fly at St. George Sectionals in March.
Her best times include:
- 100 fly – 55.74

A rising senior at Sunny Hills High School, Chow finished ninth in the 500 free at the CIF Division 1 Section Championships this past season. As a freshman, she raced to fifth in the 200 free and 10th in the 100 free at the CIF DIII State Championships.
Chow is a big get for Hawai’i, as she would’ve scored in the A-final of the 200 free, 500 free, 100 fly, and 200 fly at the 2021 MPSF Championships.
