Anyone here in a swim team? I am! I personally did it to get more fit but. Are any of you swimming dollars :P

ahaha i used to be ;; i had to quit last year because i hurt my legs though ;;v;;/

Used to be on a swim team. Loved it. Had to get because I got a job and ran out of time, but I still do the occasional triathlon.

Me too, I used to practice triathlon, but I haven't got the much time since I began university. Now I just ride my bike once in a week.

>>1 In what kind of swim team are you, actually ?

>>4 Haha yeah, I said I was gonna wake up early and go swim/run/bike every day before classes this year. That hasn't happened.

hi guys i never had proper swim sessions but i can swim... somehow, my fav is freestyle but i can't seem to work out the proper breathing technique even after watching tons of youtubes and practicing, any tips? :/

I'm a good swimmer, but I never thought about joining a swim team before.

Yup, I'm a swimming dollar. Kinda new to it too, but I can compete decently and swim a fine breaststroke.

>>6 I do 3-4 strokes, and move my head to the side on the last stroke, taking a breath there, and going onto the next stroke.
E.G: I stroke Left-Right-Left-Right, I breathe on the second right hand stroke. As soon as I have taken my breath, I put my head underwater. Sounds a bit complicated, but just breathe on every other stroke past your first.

>>7 ahh i am the same way, i am like a fish in the water but ive never joined a swim team before, probabaly because i hate people and the thought of people watching me swim buut...

Swimming is the best sport I ever encountered. I'm like Makoto Tachibana in the water; backstroke is my forte. I'm really happy because I got a sectional qualifying time for it, and this past swim season was only my first year of swimming, and I had never swam competitively before...when I started, I didn't even know how to do a proper freestyle. So swimming really gave me some muscle and I feel confident in myself. I never thought I could be an athlete before. Guess I was wrong. It's fun to be a swimmer!

>>10 ^_^ nice, as long as you love it.

Do you train a lot ?

Yeah I swim fly

I was on the swim team at my old high school... well no more of that since I graduated this year lol

>>13 You should keep on swimming

T.T Guys, today had my 3rd swimming session since I enrolled in an engineering college. I did 8 min 10 s on a 400m.

Shame on me. (I didn't even though such a bad performance was possible)

Yup, I'm on a swim team

I used to be a swimmer in middle school back when i was in my tropical home town had to quit due to work piling up , but it was the best thing ive done
