7 Things That Scare Swimmers

When it comes to putting a fright into swimmers, zombies and ghosts have nothing on these terrors:
1. Your first 200 fly or 400 IM race. Practicing the two most feared events in swimming is one thing; waiting behind the blocks knowing you are about to race one is another animal entirely. You may be able to delay the inevitable (“Coach, I was in the bathroom and didn’t hear them call my heat!”) but you can’t outrun them forever. Might as well give it your best because you will remember this race for the rest of your life.
