My name is Ali Arda CÖMERT and I’m 14. I’m from Manisa. I’m a 9th grade student at Hasan Türek Anatolian High School. I started playing chess at pre-school and selected to national team at the 2nd grade of elementary school. At the same time, I was 12th in 2008 and 2nd in 2012 in Turkiye championship at chess and won several placements in Manisa. I also played basketball for 2 good years at Manisa Arçi Sports Club. I swum for City Youth Sports Club for 5 years at all styles and I got degrees of 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Manisa. I started water polo at MSSK in 2012 with the encouragement of my swimming coaches.

MSSK is disciplined club completely supporting its athletes, acting in harmony and unity with its directors and coaches and very professionally managed. It’s so different from many other sports clubs. We achieved success as a team with our coaches through discipline and hard work. In the future, I want to be a national team player developed by my club which put signature to many successes at international levels.
