Morgan Razewski, who just turned 15 the second week of April, decided at a very young age that flotation devices weren\u2019t for her…and she nearly drowned! This prompted Morgan\u2019s parents to place her in swim lessons at the age of 3, and they have struggled to keep her out of the water ever since.<\/p>\n

Razewski, who represents SwimMAC Carolina in competition, continues to make a splash in the swimming community more and more each year. At 14, she…<\/p>\n

\u2022 Was a member of two national age group (NAG) relay records<\/em>
\n\u2022 Competed at the 2018 Long Course Junior National Championships in five events<\/em>
\n\u2022 Qualified for the U.S. National Championships in the 1000 free<\/em>
\n\u2022 Recently produced a dominating sweep of the 500-1000-1650 yard freestyle events at the 2019 North Carolina Age Group Championships.<\/em><\/p>\n

Coach Kathy McKee, associate head coach of SwimMAC Carolina, shared with Swimming World,<\/p>\n

\u201cRazewski is a strong competitor. Before her best races, she has on her game face and is determined to strive for her goals. She also knows the importance of working hard and coming together as a team. Dryland has been a recent focus for Razewski, which has made a huge impact on her success in the pool.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We had to have a chat with Morgan to find out what she’s about.<\/p>\n

SWIMMING WORLD:<\/strong> What is the best thing you do in swimming?<\/span>
\nMorgan Razewski:<\/span><\/strong> I love the competitiveness of the sport. It challenges me more than anything else that I do. I do best in freestyle and backstroke, especially distance.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/strong> Who is your swimming idol… and why?<\/span>
\nMR<\/span><\/strong>: Natalie Coughlin. She is a huge inspiration because of all of her achievements. She was first to break a minute in the 100 meter back, and she qualified for all the events at nationals at 16. I also admire her work ethic.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/strong> What are your favorite hobbies?<\/span>
\nMR:<\/strong><\/span> I enjoy baking with my mother and sister, hanging out with friends and going to movies…and, of course, swimming.<\/p>\n
