I have been a swimmer for as long as I can remember, and the reason I am able to keep going even as the challenge of the most mentally draining sport ever persists is because of my love for competing and getting better. One of the reasons I would love to swim in college is the ability to compete at the highest level while still enjoying what I’m doing. I’m a great teammate and I study hard. If there is a problem, I would stop at nothing to solve it. Swimming is my life, so the feeling of not being able to swim is suffocating.
