Swimming potential?

Question

hi im new to answers. im 14 from long island and swimming here is pretty competitive. Ive been swimming for awhile, but have neva had the chance to swim for real, (for a team). Im excited for highschool swimming but am not sure how i compare to others. Im scared, so wat should I do?

Answer 1

OK! wow this is the same situation i had, i did non competive swimming for about 5 years. Last year, as an incoming freshman i joined my highschool swimteam. My coach wasnt so sure about me being on it because i swam much slower than the rest. By the end of the season i was at sectionals swimming and much faster than a lot of my team. Now im swimming on competitive teams and i've improved so much.

Dont be scared, just do your best if you've been swimming for a while im sure your a great swimmer. Good Luck :)
