Synchronized swimming

A role model is a person that is looked up to or is an example to be imitated. In “True Story of Lake Ontario” a failed Olympic swimmer attempts a treacherous swimming expedition across Lake Ontario. Similarly a slightly precarious mountain climber makes her risky journey up Mount Everest in “Sharon Woods: No Limits”. Though both women are strong and sturdy role models, one is to a certain extent superior to the other. Even though Marilyn had become an outstanding rile model during her long…

I have been swimming for most of my life even if it wasn’t competitive and I had never really focused on my strokes. I already knew that I am supposed to drink water even when I’m swimming, and that I need to stretch before and after I get into the pool to avoid getting hurt. I also already knew that I needed to warm up and cool down before I started swimming hard. My coach always…

that we should get ready. I grabbed my already secure yellow cap that in bold blue stated my team name “Marlins”, making sure that it was stable under my thick strawberry blonde locks and likewise trying to not pull it over my eyebrows because in swimming terms that’s bad. Remembering how ruined my hair looks after my hair had the battle between the chlorine. The little girl I helped calm…

I look over the lady’s shoulder to find my name on the sheet. Addison. I can see the timer trying to talk, and I point to my name. I can’t hear anything because I was born hard of hearing, but I started to lose all of my hearing as I got older. As get up on the blocks to get ready to swim the 500 yard freestyle, I take a look around and I see my mom in the bleachers and she gives me a thumbs up. I tighten my goggles and get ready. I look for the light to go off but the girl in front of me is…

it too, and he kicked his heart out as he raced his teammates for the wall. Getting out of the water, I was so happy, perhaps more so than the kids, because I finally understood the real purpose of my job - to help these kids find their love for swimming. So I didn’t complain about working after that, and I enjoyed every single moment of the swim season. Then, suddenly, swim season was over, and I didn’t know what to do now that I didn’t see my pre-team every day. And it was then - and only…

They say swimming is 10% physical and 90% mental; that is true beyond belief. I started competitive swimming when I was seven years old. I loved it. I was never the best swimmer, but I usually did well in my races. As I got older, the swims become longer, the practices became harder, and the mental strains became greater. The challenges never bothered me too much. Then I reached high school . My freshman year, I was lucky enough to earn my spot on the varsity swim team. My main goal that…

The beeping is pounding in my ears. My breathing slows so I can get my heart beat down. I almost leap up to the blocks when they call my heat up. I take my mark and hear the loud beep. Then everything went quiet. Swimming is something that I've always loved to do. The anxiety of waiting, the hard work waiting to be shown off, and the goal of dropping time is something I think about before every race and meet. After your race you're either full of joy or full of disappointment. I will…
