Summer Sanders has a long list of accomplishments, ranging from Olympian to television personality to actress. But before she reached that level of success, Sanders was making a name for herself as a teen swimmer here in Sacramento.
Sanders was born and raised in Roseville, CA, a suburb of Sacramento, and made her first splash as a member of the Roseville Sugarbears, which, at the time, was the city’s only recreational swim team.
From there, she went on to attend Oakmont High School, where she began to gain notoriety as a swimmer and eventually became a member of the school’s inaugural Hall of Fame class.
