And thatโ€™s what it takes to get to that next level, and I expect her to go to the next level.โ€

Aubree encourages other athletes to concentrate on their goals and to keep pushing themselves to achieve them. โ€œMy parents, brothers, coaches, and family push me and motivate me, even when I feel like I donโ€™t want to do it,โ€ she said.

Aubreeโ€™s swimming career began in 2021, and she has already achieved so much with her incredible talent and dedication. Tyler ISD is proud to celebrate her achievements and mark the beginning of what promises to be an impressive swimming journey for this young athlete.
