Races were swum, and best times were either hit or missed. After working for months toward one meet, sometimes the end can hit hard.<\/p>\n<p>For those that swam well and hit their goals, it is often easy to get back into training with renewed vigor. But if things didn\u2019t go exactly as planned, sometimes swimmers end up feeling a little lost. That\u2019s the nature of sport, and it\u2019s ok. Sometimes failures are what will lead to greater successes in the future.<\/p>\n<p>So if your season didn\u2019t end as you expected, take a deep breath. As much as one championship meet might feel like the end of a road, it is really just one step in the journey of your swimming career. While it might seem hard to get re-motivated, there\u2019s a lot you can do to get refocused and ready to get back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five ways to comeback rejuvenated and inspired after a disappointing season:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Take a Break<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_127305\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/take-a-break-swimming-peripitus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-127305\" data-attachment-id=\"127305\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/5-ways-comeback-gusto-disappointing-season\/take-a-break-swimming-peripitus\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/take-a-break-swimming-peripitus.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"take-a-break-swimming-peripitus\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;take-a-break-swimming-peripitus&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Swimming Peripitus&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/take-a-break-swimming-peripitus-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/take-a-break-swimming-peripitus.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-127305\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/take-a-break-swimming-peripitus-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"take-a-break-swimming-peripitus\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-127305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Swimming Peripitus<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While this may seem counterintuitive to getting ready to train again, a short break can be the best thing for you. Most programs give you at least a few days off before getting into full-on spring training. Take advantage of this, and stay out of the pool for a couple days. Our sport is extremely grueling, and it\u2019s ok to feel like you need a break. Take a few days and do something else. Run, cycle, and catch up with friends you\u2019ve been putting off all season. Enjoy the time out of the water and let yourself recharge.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Get Excited<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_127303\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/get-excited-michael-phelps-foundation-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-127303\" data-attachment-id=\"127303\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/5-ways-comeback-gusto-disappointing-season\/get-excited-michael-phelps-foundation\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/get-excited-michael-phelps-foundation-.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"get-excited-michael phelps foundation\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-13-20&lt;br \/&gt;\nget-excited-michael phelps foundation&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Michael Phelps Foundation&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/get-excited-michael-phelps-foundation--700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/get-excited-michael-phelps-foundation--1024x682.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-127303\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/get-excited-michael-phelps-foundation--700x500.jpg\" alt=\"get-excited-michael phelps foundation\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-127303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Michael Phelps Foundation<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When you\u2019re back in the pool and getting back into the season, it&#8217;s okay to start with the things that make you want to be training. Refocusing on something that will get you excited about being at the pool is the best thing you can do for yourself. Maybe you really want to focus on another stroke for a couple weeks, or maybe you\u2019re interested in dedicating yourself to the weight room. Whatever it may be, throw yourself into it and get excited about what you\u2019re doing. Once you\u2019ve got something to be excited you\u2019ll find it easier to get back into the grind.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

This can mean different things for different people, but one of the best ways to accomplish this is remembering what got you into this sport in the first place. You probably didn\u2019t start swimming with your current goals in mind. It most likely had more to do with liking the feel of the water, the thrill of competition, or the camaraderie between you and your teammates. Find that again, and remember why you do what you do. This motivation can carry through the deepest disappointments and the hardest training periods.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.

Consider the work you did in the previous season. Were there things you could have done better? Things that you want to work on in the coming months? This isn\u2019t a time to lament over missed opportunities. Instead, you should use it as a starting point of where you want to go in your coming season. It isn\u2019t a bad idea to sit down with your coach and get on the same page. What are you both going to do to make the coming season your best one yet? Choose a path and commit.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5.
