When Maya DiRado first got in the pool, she just wanted to dance. But the 6-year-old with a background in ballet didn’t stick with synchronized swimming for long. She found that she didn’t like her instructor. But she also didn’t want to leave the water. Nine years later, DiRado’s beginnings in the pool are stamped all over her stroke. A phenom who is fascinated by the subtle movements of her sport, DiRado can give the 200 individual medley the elegance of a recital. DiRado, a sophomore at Maria Carrillo High,...
