5 Things You'll Take Away from Swimming
5 Things You'll Take Away from Swimming
Swimming is a gift in a lot of ways. Sure, there are lots of “missed” moments, those parties you have to hear about on Monday mornings (which no one completely remembers anyways), and bumped heads from not getting the backstroke flags up in time. But those little things will seem trivial, funny, or completely irrelevant in the years after you hang up your suit.
But with those perceived “losses” comes an overwhelming return. Some of the awesomeness is apparent while you are competing still; the camaraderie getting out of an exam because you are away for a meet, being the only kid in school with a six pack.
Other stuff will take some time to appreciate. It will come to you slowly, deeply, and at times very unexpectedly...
