Our Athlete of the week this week is Noah Smith. Noah is a senior at Allatoona and has been swimming for four years. “Noah has added depth to the Allatoona Swim and Dive Team, qualifying for state at our first meet of the season. Being a year-round swimmer, he has given advice to his younger teammates to help them with changes to their technique to improve their times in individual events and gives his all in relay events. He is a great team player, and we are proud that he’s part of the Allatoona Swim and Dive Team.” says coach Jennifer Dorrough. Noah’s plans for after high school is to go to college and swim and go pro for the ISL and Olympics. His advice to younger players is “make sure you don’t get in your head, it can really mess you up and make you underperform in your moment.”
