Firefighter | Boxer | Masters Swimming National Champion
Christina Campfort is a masters swimmer, firefighter and driver engineer, former boxer, and University of Miami swimmer who returned to competitive swimming after more than two decades away from the sport. At 44 years old, while balancing shift work and new motherhood, she made an immediate impact in the pool by winning four national titles at the YMCA National Championships less than a year after her comeback. Christina trains with Tampa Y Masters and brings a refreshingly honest perspective on rebuilding confidence, developing work ethic later in life, and learning how to compete with greater purpose the second time around. Her story is a powerful reminder that stepping away from the pool does not mean your swimming story is over.
