“I joined swim this year, because I wanted to try something new.” “I decided to do swim again this year because I love the meets. After the meets, on the bus rides home, it gets pretty crazy.” “I swim to keep up my endurance, but also because I want to swim in college.” “I do swim because there is not a lot of room for excuses. You either swim the time that you need to or you don’t.”
