There are a lot of emotions that come along with finishing a college swimming career. My former collegiate swim captain, Anna Eckberg, is someone I’ve had the pleasure of swimming alongside this past season as she finished her swimming career and become a “swammer”. Eckberg defines a “swammer” as: an ex-swimmer, someone who is normally used to killing themselves five hours a day, six to seven days a week both mentally and physically, and has to adapt to actually having a life beyond the pool.
She started swimming when she was 4 years old and continued in the sport because she said she wasn’t good at anything but swimming. Like most college swimmers, Anna has swam on a club team her entire life and has made a lot of friends on all of the teams she has been on.
She really wanted to swim in college because she was scared she would not make friends without having a team. As it turns out, she did make friends outside of her team but a few of her best friends came from the sport.  There’s a unique bond that comes from spending five hours a day with the same people; going through the same hardships and obstacles. It is nearly impossible not to grow close to teammates after what you go through together.
