SWIM MEET VLOG // Nationals & my 18th BIRTHDAY!!

Hello SQUAD!
Here's an insight into a full week of racing! This week was short course nationals held at my home pool!
I also celebrated my 18th BIRTHDAY wahoo! There's a mini haul involved :)
I'm so thankful for all the support I have around me - family, friends, coaches, the team and many others!! This week I won 7 nationals medals which wouldn't be possible without all this support.
You can follow me on Instagram @andiequirke or Snapchat andie_quirke !!
Stay tuned for my next video!
PEACE, ANDO XXX

[@andiequirke4525]

Thank you x

[@christinewee8811]

you’re so fast in the 50 free!! what r some things that has helped you get faster?

[@andiequirke4525]

minimal breathing, really using the start as a weapon - it sets up the speed for the whole race. Always be conscious of keeping your stroke rate high and head down into the finish!

[@willaimhl814]

One thing that's proven throughout the history of swimming even if your coaches say not to just regularly sprinting and trying to get pbs in practice is how you get fast

[@CiaraOrness]

ayyy swim vloggers!! congrats on all the great swims & happy 18th!

Do extra dry-land at home, stretch and when you're at training make sure you give 110%

Congratulations finish.

[@caden9868]

Was this nationals or junior nats? I'm not sure how it works in New Zealand

[@andiequirke4525]

For short course nations (this meet) we swim age group - junior finals in the am and open overall finals in the pm ! Our long course nationals are split into junior and open at different meets :)

[@eliasgonzalez5357]

At least in my pool, here in chihuahua Mexico, we grab the birthday guy, coaches and elder swimmers grab the guy by his hands and legs with full clothes on, and just swing the guy and throw him into the water, really cool... also, the pats Friday of each month, we put a table and put all the guys who had their birthdays on that month, and after signing happy bday, we literally smash their heads onto the cake, and after throwing the guys, we eat something, really cool I guess.... miss those times.....

1. Be authentic. You cannot grow if you are not true to yourself. You have to be honest with yourself about what you are passionate about and who it is you really want to be, despite critics and naysayers. 2. Have vision. People’s dreams perish for lack of vision. Without having the idea in mind of who you want to be, you will not know where or how to aim for it. Keep your vision top of mind as you reach each milestone to motivate you to push forward. 3. Embrace a never-give-up attitude. Curveballs will forever be coming your way as you pursue your dream. You might have moments when you want to throw in the towel because you just can’t keep fighting all the challenges and setbacks you encounter. But you have to push through and realize you really do have everything you need to reach your full potential. kzbin.info/door/ZsW3usPEhy6Ww4Sygqw-BQ?view_as=

There's too many popups in this video and even a commercial break. Are you doing these videos to share with people your experiences as a swimmer and do a teen vlog or are you here to make money? If you can tone down the monetization, we would all appreciate it. Thanks.
