Swimmers don’t swim because it’s fun. Ask any of us most of us hate it. But we couldnt imagine our lives without it. It’s part of us, it’s something we live for. We live for the 3 hr. practices, the team parties, the invitationals, the chlorine, the friendship, the coaches you hate but appreciate later. We live for the way it feels when you beat the person next to you by a tenth of a second but you know those last 2 laps you did in practice were worth it. The swimming pool is where you make new best friends that you get mad at for not cheering you on in the 500 free, the amazing rush of adrenaline that you get when you jump of the block into your 400 IM, and some of us are lucky enough to even find love at the swimming pool. We live for the competition, the practices, and for the pain. We live for the race, the sprint, the distance, and for the team. It’s a part of us because…
WE ARE SWIMMERS!
