I’m Azra Alkan and I’m 10 years old. I study at the 5th grade of ODTÜ Ülkem Middle School. I was in interested in gymnastics between the 1st and 3rd grades of Elementary School. I started swimming with the encouragement of a coach who was working as lifeguard at a pool which I go as a member. Swimming at MSSK provided me a more disciplined life and healthier and a more fit body. Furthermore, I built new friendships and I had the chance to visit other cities.

I won a total of 23 medals in the competitions I participated as a licensed swimmer of MSSK. The role of our dense team trainings and the care our coaches show are great in these successes. In addition, I believe that “believing to the success” has the most important reason behind success. My goal is to continue my education at school of physical education and sports and to become one of the best swimming coaches of Turkiye.
