Swimmers become “swammers” and swammers typically stay swammers but the sport doesn’t leave us as easily as changing a vowel in our titles. While we sat in front of the television this past week, watching the Olympic Trials, we were ignited with a rush of emotions mirroring our excitement and our yearning for a chance to race again. Yet, while we were in the pool, some of us know all too well the struggle of having to trade in our social lives for the sport.
Swimmers do not know the luxury of free time. Since we were little youngsters swimming 25s in the 8-and-under heats, we made a commitment to show up to practice every day and show up to every meet with vigor. This commitment only got stronger as our age division increased.
One-hour practice became three-hour practice. Playing wall-ball before practice became dry-land workouts. One practice a day became two during the summer. It seemed like every hour of free time we were granted was traded in for more pool activities.
