To swim or not to swim?

Question

I was wondering if I should join my school's summer swim team. I've never been on swim team before, but I have ran track. I'm skinny, but in good shape, especially since track has just ended. I'm a freshmen in High School so I'm not going to be up to the level of the others, how can i get better and quick?

Answer 1

I think its too late to join the team. unless you can do their workouts.

Answer 2

join regardless, it's good cross training for running.

Answer 3

swimming is soooooo much fun. i am on the swim team and the first time i tried out, i fell in love of it. its such a great sport. the best way to get better is just practice. after school just go to your pool and swim laps. practice the strokes, practice turning. pretty soon you'll be a pro! i hope you decide to join  it...

Answer 4

swimming is hard. really hard. but the meets are sooo fun and  i love swimming it's the best sport out there! i would join if i were u.

Answer 5

ok, inspirational story time:

im going to be a senior in highschool and the last time i played soccer was in 9th grade... i really wanted to play again so i tried out and ended up making the team right under varsity.

i say go for it. never doubt yourself and give it all you got.

who cares if someone is better than you, you probably have something on them too!!

you never know unless you take a risk and if youre not amazing, then really, who cares you tried and you showed that  you can take chances

to swim!
