I have been swimming competitively for something around 8 years now... i am a junior in high school and just recently (maybe a year and a half) i have been thinking about how much i really HATE this sport. I feel like it takes the most dedication out of any sport sport out there ( as it goes all year around), and does not receive any credit for it. There are so many ignorant football players (no offense but its so true) that think their sport is the hardest. Does anyone else that swims competitively feel the same way i do?
