Swimming. Tis a wondrous past-time, hobby, lifestyle, and career. IF only it could be my career! Ah that would be so super amazingly wonderful! BUT.... Life doesn't work that way I suppose.
Pretty much anyone can learn to swim. A few less can learn to swim competitively. Even fewer can swim competitively and do well enough to stand out. Only the elite stand out enough that they are chosen for various amazing colleges, clubs, and maybe even the Olympics! Some may think that swimming is all physical. I'd have to slap some sense into those people. Swimming is all in your mind. If you think you are going to race horribly then you will FOR SURE drown in the water and embarrass yourself. Once you start to think big thoughts and imagine yourself as a super pro athlete who can swim anything and do some major poneing, that is when you will start to swim like a star.
This past year I have started to really try and get in the correct mind-set for being amazing. It is so hard to do! Of coarse I've been swimming hard and lifting weights, ect, (though I have been doing water polo in the mornings instead of swimming) and basically I've been trying to be physically fit, but really.... I think I have a mind block. Like when I sprint a simple 50, I can feel that I could go harder and much faster, but it's like my mind puts a wall right in front of me so that when I swim I keep hitting it and I can't go faster and farther. I'm now determined to destroy that silly wall. I want to be amazing and I don't want to let anything get in my way. Even school seems trivial to me compared to swimming. Of coarse I keep straight A's and I want to keep them that way throughout highschool, but, gosh, swimming is on my mind! It is like a disease. But I want to catch it and I want it to pull my farther into the swimming mind-set.
Speaking of diseases, nonclothitus. I don't care if it isn't a "real" disease. It is to me and Expresso. Basically it's a disease (mainly infecting swimmers) where they just don't want to wear clothes! My swimsuit is just perfect, and anything more than maybe flip flops and a towel feel like too much. Of coarse I get cold and have to wear clothes, plus it's kinda against dress code regulations to wear my suit to school :D (laughlaugh) I wish I could though.
It's time to be a swimmer.
