When I was a 13-year-old age grouper, bright eyed and full of excitement for the sport of swimming, my coach told my team something that struck me as very profound. He gathered us together before our state championship meet, and said “Swimming fast is fun. And this weekend, I want you guys to have a lot of fun.â€
In the moment, this statement struck me by how obvious it was. As an age group swimmer, there are often distractions at practice and swim meets that in the moment seem more fun than the training and racing that one is facing. A game of cards, or the chance to run around with friends from out of state can seem more pressing than adequately preparing for an upcoming race. However, I was struck by my coach’s statement that while these activities might be fun in the moment, taking the time to prepare and be ready to swim fast creates a possibility of fun that was of an entirely different kind. Swimming fast was the kind of fun that lasted, a feeling that caused me to go to sleep with a grin on my face that couldn’t be wiped off for weeks. I knew exactly what he was talking about.
