Navy swimmer O'Malley always has her sights on something bigger
Lauren O'Malley is a Navy swimmer who was selected as Brigade Commander this semester and is aiming for the NCAA championships. (Navy Athletics/HANDOUT)Navy senior Lauren O’Malley’s agenda is essential, especially on some weekdays.
“On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I have double practices,” she said. “Wednesdays and Fridays, a noontime yoga session to work on stretching and flexibility for the pool. Then, on average, I have four classes a day.”
Such is the life of a Naval Academy student and a college swimmer, which O’Malley has had to balance for four years. This semester, however, brought another added level of pressure.
