February 2025: Swimmer of the Month- Ethan Jiang

Ethan Jiang joined Alto in the summer of 2022 and has been making steady strides in his swimming journey ever since. Currently training with Coach Andreas in the Senior Prep group, Ethan has demonstrated significant growth in both his skills and his confidence in the water. His dedication to the sport is evident in the way he approaches practice—focused, determined, and eager to improve.

This season, Ethan reached an exciting milestone by qualifying for his first Age Group Championships in the 100 and 200 Breaststroke. This achievement is a direct reflection of his hard work, perseverance, and commitment to refining his technique and race strategy. The progress he has made in his breaststroke is a testament to the countless hours he has spent fine-tuning his strokes, building his endurance, and pushing himself to new levels in training.

Ethan’s journey is just getting started, and we’re excited to see what’s ahead for him. His dedication and passion for the sport, particularly in kicking and swimming breaststroke, sets him up for a bright future. Congratulations, Ethan!
