Club Swimming Career
After walking past a community pool with her older sister Katie, Mohler fell in love with the sport of swimming. Taking after her older sister, she dedicated herself to longs hours of practice. She was determined to do well and had dreams of making it to the Olympic games some day. Mohler's hard work started to pay off as she distinguished herself from other swimmers with her phenomenal swimming with the Academy Bullets Swim Club before high school and during the high school off season. Her coach Bill Schalz worked with her to better her stroke techniques as she went on to do well at all of the Chicago Area swim invitationals. Currently, her 11/12 year old, 13/14 year old, and Senior Women short course yards and long course meters records at the Academy Bullets Swim Club still stand.

Famous quotes containing the words club, swimming and/or career:
“Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
