LITTLE ROCK - Less than two years ago, Annya Grom spent her days as a soldier in the Israeli army. Now, the sophomore holds four individual school records for the Little Rock swimming and diving team. The journey has been a long one for Grom, one that started in her hometown of Eilat, located on the coast of the Red Sea.
Growing up as a club swimmer, for half of the year her team went without a facility. That meant they had to use their resources, and the Red Sea became their training grounds.
