0:03 – shoulder dislocates

0:06 – hanging swings

0:14 – Weighted muscle ups

0:20 – Front lever pull overs

0:28 – Weighted pull ups

0:40 – stranding ab roll-outs

0:49 – pull overs

0:54 – knee jumps

1:01 – bridge push ups

A few months ago , I created a platform called “Swimbuddy” that allows two swimmers to race each other remotely.

I submitted this project to a competition organized by Dream it. Win it. Code it. Dream it. Code it. Win it. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization launched by Cristina Dolan, the MIT Club of New York, the MIT Enterprise Forum of New York City, and TradingScreen to celebrate and reward computer science education amongst high school students, college students, and young women.

I am happy to say that Swimbuddy won the Fiverr Imagination award!

Swimbuddy wins a big cheque

 

When I was awarded on stage, the MC asked me if I raced Michael Phelps with the swim buddy.

After the award ceremony, I had a lot of people come up to me. It was great to hear so many people telling me how much they liked Swimbuddy. Even one of my competitors told me that my project stood out and was their favorite. A few people, asked me if I was going to make this into a start-up or get it working for the Olympics.
