How to become an Olympic swimmer??

Question

Hi, I am a 13 year old girl from the USA. I have a huge dream of being an Olympic swimmer. I am a pretty good, fast, swimmer, but I was wondering if there are any ways to achieve this huge, meaningful dream of mine. Any help is always appreciated!

Answer 1

do everything your coach tells you!

when it comes to race day make sure you keep a straight mind and focus on the task

also the best way to be scouted for the olympic team is by achieving the qualifying times for the trials

Answer 2

Dedication and Commitment! You need to train a lot. I have friends that are swimmers and they get up at 4:30 every morning and go to their local pool and train with their swim squad, go to work/school and then train again in the afternoon/evening. You need to live and breathe swimming it has to be your passion. Join a swim club. I don't know how it is in America because I'm from Australia and there are lots of swimming clubs over here, but maybe check websites for local swim clubs/squads or call your local swimming centre and find out if they have a swimming club you could join.

Answer 3

go to all your practices and try really hard in all of them and do whatver your coach tells u like if he tells u to sprint then sprint!

SWIMMERS UNITE!!   lol
