In 40 years of teaching and counseling aspiring high-schoolers, Kristin Duquette tops my list of greats. In her, I find a dynamic combination of philosopher, scholar and athlete bursting within her unconquerable spirit and insatiable desire to ignite others to believe a simple truth___"Believe in your God-given self and never stop!"

Kristin's personal gratitude to those who believe and support her efforts.

Please know, yes, I’ve made many sacrifices to discipline and train and the road has been challenging at times, but it’s not just about me and the swimming.  It’s about all of you who believe, support and provide me opportunities I’ve only dreamed about.  THANK YOU so very much!
