Swimming isn’t hard. I’ve been on one for 8 years. It isn’t. It is tiring. Soccer is hard, the skills needed are hard, riding, hockey, it is all hard. Anyone could be a swimmer. All you have to do is know how to float and you can be on a swim team. You do not need skills, If a 3 year old can do the same thing you can, it isn’t hard, just tiring. I do not see the point of swimming, I get no joy and niether do people I talk to. Swimming isn’t life, if it is, then you have no life, being in a pool non stop. Oh thats sound so fun! Not.

If you go from store to store desperately trying to find your favorite sports drink
If the first place you go when you’re stressed out is a swimming pool
If among your heroes are Phelps and crocker or you know who I’m talking about.
If your daily apparel is held together by knots or is torn and see through .
If the phrase, “50 double armed backstroke with a breast stroke kick” makes sense .
. If being fish-like is a compliment
If your friends don’t even call you anymore because they know that you have no time to do anything.
If your nightmares consist of a series of numbers ending in 0 or 5,
you sweat chlorine even after showering

People dont swim because its fun. Ask any swimmer, most of them hate it, but couldnt imagin there life without it. Its part of them, the love/hate relationships, its what they live for. They live for the practices, partys, cheers, long bus rides, meets, the countless pairs of goggles, water, gatorade and the coaches you hate but appretieate. They live for the way it feels to beat the other team by those few points, and you now those two extra sprints in practice were woth it. They live for the way you become a family with your team, They live for the countless songs you sing in your head while your swiming all those laps, they live for the compition, they live for the freinds, the practices, the memories, the pain, its who they are. its who we are…Swimmers <3
