Yeah I graduated 2 years ago and just kinda fell out with swimming but I just went to my schools champs and they all did amazing especially my roommate who was at a very similar skill level. He made a nationals cut and was less than half a second off 2 other cuts. It was sad thinking that I should’ve been a part of the team this year but I graduated early… I told myself my only goal was to never say “what if…?” But now I’ve been thinking what if I had 3 more years of it? Covid fucked it up so I only had 1 year of collegiate swimming.

I tried looking at masters but they seem to all have practice during my work hours. My club team that I did in middle school and through college has practice in the evening so that looks like a good option for mow

I was a swimmer which can be done solo but is very boring. I think I’m gonna join back with my club team this summer. I’ve been lifting so maybe I’ll be able to come back better than I was once my cardio gets back up. Strength was that was holding me back when I was in competition

Haha I have short legs but I should probably try to get halfway decent at running so that’s a good idea! I do enjoy biking so maybe I can add running too

I’ve been lifting but I think I’m gonna join my club team again at least for the summer. Just prolonging the inevitable but it’ll give me time

There is next to zero chance to go pro in my sport. People only watch it in the Olympics

Nah I just genuinely thought athletic career meant your success in a sport. I consider my job my professional career.
