Is it too late to be on par with high school swimming team?

Question

I will be going into my Junior year of high school next year, and I want to join my school's swim team. However, many people have been swimming for a few years now; I can swim, but I haven't really learned any proper technique. Is in plausible that I join this coming year and, with proper training, be on par with them, or is it too late for that?

Answer 1

it depends on whether you are willing to put in the time and effort to get to the level of the girls who have many years experience !

but if you are determined you can deffinetely do it !

Answer 2

Answer 3
