By Katlynn Emaus, Swimming World College Intern
Oh swimming how my body has taken your toll,
From the underwater kick sets to the 400s pull,
From the knots in my hair that cannot be undone,
The battle of not smelling like chlorine just cannot be won,
The endless time I have poured into you,
however, there is nothing I’d rather do.
The dry cracking skin and the hair with dead ends,
Oh swimming, you are lucky I consider you my friend.
From diving into the cold pool at absurd hours,
You have made me the opposite of a coward.
For all the times I’ve wanted to fuss,
Your name is the one I would always cuss,
But I would never trade my time in the pool,
To attend the parties that would make me ‘cool’,
For I know that what I have given to this sport,
I will receive back much much more,
From those deep chats with coach that I consider priceless,
My life without you would be pointless,
The family I have gained through my teammates,
Make up for all the times that I say this is a sport I hate,
I am much more mentally sharp from my experiences in the water,
You could eventually consider swimming my alma mater.
