Hi, I’m Abigail Halko, a sprint freestyler and student at UTHS. I swim with Nitro Swimming in Cedar Park, where I’ve had the opportunity to train at a high level and compete across the country. So far, I’ve achieved Winter Junior and Futures cuts with USA Swimming, and I’m currently working toward qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Trials — a big goal that keeps me motivated every day.

 

Swimming at this level takes a lot of time and focus, but the flexible schedule at UTHS has made it possible for me to stay on track with my academics while dedicating myself to training. It’s been a huge part of helping me chase my dreams in the pool without falling behind in school.

 

Sprint freestyle is all about speed, precision, and mindset — and I love the challenge. I’m excited to keep pushing forward, racing faster, and seeing how far I can go!
