i want to try out, but i know in my heart that they will choose the beter swimmer over me... so this whole year, i want to get ready for NEXT years swim team.. so any helpfull tips to get me to shape up and kick some buts at next years try outs? thanks =]

Answer 1

well I would find a local pool for the summer and see if they have an adult swim that they could let you practice and in the winter you can find a indoor and do the same you might be able to find a summer swim team not to far away to help

Answer 2

If you want to get really good you can join a club team at an entry level.  Depending on where you live different programs are offered.  ask some of the other girls if they swim year round and see if they enjoyed their club.  If you're not quite that into swimming, i deffinatly suggest that you swim at lap swims at you local pool.  another huge part of swimming that you don't need a pool for is dry land-  things like ab work outs and wall sits and lunges and push ups and pull ups etc will all help your swimming.
