Ah, holiday training. If you’re a college swimmer, this phrase immediately conjures up visions of you and you’re teammates frolicking about on a white sand beach, splashing around in clear, tropical waters with brief breaks in this lounging to crank out some serious yardage in wavy outdoor pools. These training trips, however, don’t happen until we’ve taken some time with our families at home and, of course, our old club teams.
Going home to train with an old club team is both an opportunity to change up your training for a short period of time and make a good impression on the younger swimmers, but us college swimmers can fall into the trap of being “that college kid.” You know the one I’m talking about. Here are five tips to avoid being “that college kid” and representing your school in a good light.
When you make a commitment to go to practices with your club team, show up on time. Remember when you were in high school and you would watch all of the alums stroll in halfway through warmup? Remember how annoying it was? Yeah, don’t be that kid. Set a good example by being on time and getting in the water on time, even if the other college kids who are back aren’t doing the same thing. By showing up and getting in with the rest of the swimmers, you’re both showing your club coach the right amount of respect–because let’s face it, club coaches don’t have to let us come back and swim for free on our breaks–and giving your school a good name.
