Liana Planz
Hi and welcome to my athletic profile and swim lesson site. I am a competitive D1 swimmer at Queens University of Charlotte, NC. I swam in High School and in Club. Swimming life started for the love of the beach life. The day I was caught in a rip current, is when my mother put me in swim lesson. At my local YMCA is when I started to learn about club swimming and was approached by a coach to join the swim club. Ever since then swimming has been part of me.
I am a certified USA Swim Coach, lifeguard, CPR and swim instructor where I have worked at the Belton Swimming pool since 2021 during my HS years. Everyone should have a chance to learn to swim. I believe it is a life skill that everyone needs to learn and that all schools need to provide. Because of my swimming skills I was able to swim away from a rip current multiple times. Without the swimming skills who knows what could have happened.
My Passion
As a military child, I have traveled all around the world. I had to learn to quickly adjust and be flexible to change. I had to learn to transition to one surrounding culture to the next. I may have had a crazy lifestyle moving every three years, but it made me who I am today.
My passion is traveling and learning new cultures and way of life in other countries. I may not be open to new foods, but I do try. Because of the moving situation throughout the military life, it made me want to travel. I cannot stay in one place too long. I start to itch for something new. I guess this can be good in a way. I am not afraid of change and I get to meet people from all over.
I am curious where my passion will lead me to. Will I be living in a different country? Will I join the service just so that I can have the same lifestyle I grew up in? Who knows. I am just going with the flow and live my life to the fullest and enjoy every step I take.
My Goals
My goals is to become a physical therapist. I am aiming to help wounded service members and give them a second chance in activity and mobility in life. I have been accepted to QUEENS UNIVERSITY in Charlotte, NC. There I will study Exercise science/Kinesiology, in hopes to getting an intern with the NFL or NBA for a semester and then intern in a hospital setting.
I am still debating on joining the Air Force ROTC program in Charlotte. Although I am a military child, I am not yet sure if the military route is how I want to choose my path. I do now I want to be surrounded by service members and their community, because I am familiar and comfortable with such community, the same community I grew up in.
