Amen. I've been swimming since i was in first grade, and honestly my whole life has been in the water. We're in the middle of season right now and sometimes I just feel like I can't deal with swimming another set. But in the end, it's so worth. Even though you might seem slow during a race, just take it one step at a time and motivate yourself, everyone has their low points! I love breast and free. Back is okay, but... please shoot me if I ever have to participate in a fly event! x)
