When You Say You're a Swimmer

:kaukau: Yes, another video about swimming. I joined a swim team in 2016, inspired by Michael Phelps. I couldn't make it last. With college going on and a long commute, I can't make it work again, but when I'm finally finished in (hopefully) a year, I think that I might sign up for that daily discipline again. It was my first sport, and it's a part of me. The first athlete that I ever idolized was a swimmer. The first major competition that I ever traveled to see was a swim meet. The first time and only time I ever made it to a state-level competition was as a swimmer. The first time I was part of a group activity was as a swimmer.

 

I'm older now. I'm afraid that it isn't like riding a bike. What if I can't make my body do the things that I want it to do? But I have to try. Right now, a good friend, who always had a little too much extra weight on her and never much cared for sports, has successfully committed herself to a gym membership. I never expected her to, and have been pleasantly surprised. She's been an inspiration to me.

 

This all depends on whether or not I can get a job right out of college, but already I think I have a New Years Resolution for 2019.
