“Practice makes permanent†– Coach
Two-hundred and thirty hours in the pool. Fifty-seven hours in the weight room. Three-thousand eight-hundred and sixty four hours in my head– the hours that make up one official season for a Division III swimmer. They are the hours between the first official practice and the last official race. This doesn’t include the time put in during the spring, the summer, or the first three and a half weeks after stepping back on campus, but they make up the time where my focus and dedication is at its maximum.
On September 23, the first day of my last competitive swim season, more thoughts swam through my mind about eating habits, sleeping habits, and drinking habits. It’s not just the hours in the pool and the weight room that make up a season, it’s also the hours spent preparing for practice. The constant soreness in my arms and legs keeps swimming at the front of my mind for those 3,864 hours.
