Question

Entering freshman at Northeastern University.

I'm 5'11", 165lbs.

Any other background info? I don't know much about it but I want to try out if it's feasible.

Answer 1

perfect you will be just fine. sometimes people say that height helps but im short and im fine, my team goes to nationals and does well every year you will be fine dont worry.

i highly recommend that you try it out its probably one of the best decisions of my life!

make sure that you are at least semi in shape and to prepare try running or swimming to build up your endurance.

typically wear spandex but shorts is okay on first weekish.

its greattt
