18 Things Being A Competitive Swimmer Taught Me

By Trevor Lee, Swimming World Guest Contributor

Eat. Sleep. Swim. Repeat.

As a former competitive swimmer on a year-round swim team (I swam throughout the year, except during mid-August to early September), I hold on to countless lessons that my swimming experience has imparted. Swimming is arguably one of the hardest sports, regardless of how easy professional swimmers like Katie Ledecky or Ryan Lochte make it out to be. Regardless of how good a swimmer you were, all swimmers can testify that the mentality of swimming continues not only inside the pool, but also outside the water.

Coaches recognize that swimmers, like other people, have busy schedules and classes often interfere with practice times. Since there are no classes held at 5 a.m., why not hold swim practice? Discipline is key here. One trick that I used to help me wake up was leaving my warm, comfortable bed and brushing my teeth. Since getting ready in the morning is programmed into my body, getting up to brush my teeth instinctively prepare me for the rest of the day and helped me forget about the coziness of my blankets.
