GopherSports.com asked swimmers and divers to show and tell us about their early days in their sport.

Here is a picture from my first diving meet! I switched to diving after being in gymnastics. My younger brother was a diver, and was pretty good at it, so I wanted to give it a shot--a little sibling rivalry! I loved it from my first practice, and luckily I was really bad at gymnastics so it wasn't a hard decision to switch! - Mariam Khamis
