I Believe in Competitive Swimming
Swimming is my life. Joining the swim team has changed my life more than I ever thought it would. Since I joined my weeks have been filled with practice and more practice. Weekends are filled with meets and going to events. I went through a lot of years just so I could join the team. Being part of a team is amazing and full of fun.
Swim has changed my life in a lot of ways. From being part of a team, to getting up early for meets. I don’t know what I would be doing if I did not join the team.

I now make more goals for myself like getting a state cut in 50 fly, lowest time one 100 fly, state cut one 50 free, etc. Since I make those goals, I work hard to reach them and feel proud. Being able to be mentally strong is a good skill to have in any sport, because there are less mental blocks that can occur, plus, it’s easier to focus when believing in whatever goal was
