By Kaylie Noll, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

With July almost over, it\u2019s the time of the year when summer recreational league teams are starting to wrap up. For some swimmers, this means that they won\u2019t be back in the pool to do\u00a0laps until next summer. For others, it means it is time to go back to their club team and get fully immersed into year-round swimming again if they had taken a break from club swimming. And for yet another group, if they had been\u00a0doing both summer rec and club swimming, it is time to let go of the recreational swim meets until next year.<\/p>\n

But for a select group of summer-only swimmers, now is also the time that they realize that they aren\u2019t ready to let go of their favorite summer activity.<\/p>\n

If you got hooked on the sport this summer and are thinking about joining a club team, you may feel uncertain of what you\u2019re getting yourself into, and that\u2019s okay. Making the decision to really dive into the sport takes some serious consideration.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why these eight Peoria Area Water Wizards club swimmers are here to give their advice and opinions on choosing to upgrade from your summer recreational league to a club swim team, but also inform you on how different the two can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cClub swimming is a different level than summer-only swimming. It\u2019s a commitment. There are harder practices and harder schedules. Expect a lot more competition and a more serious environment than laid back summer meets. Also, there are so many positives. You develop friendships with your teammates and enhance your skills in the sport.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Collin O\u2019Brien<\/p>\n

\u201cYou develop relationships with your coaches and teammates over a longer period of time. Your teammates will help you become a better swimmer and person. They become your best friends, so you do more than just swim with them; you do other activities with them as well. The meets are a lot different, but they\u2019re a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Garrett Schrock<\/p>\n

\u201cSummer swimming is mostly about having fun, but club swimming has a much bigger emphasis on the work. But along with the higher intensity and the higher level, you make deeper bonds with coaches and friends, and become a better swimmer. You spend more time at practice and meets with your teammates and coaches and go through tough workouts with them, so you immediately bond quicker. It\u2019s very worth the extra commitment needed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Jordan Ries<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a higher level of competition at meets. Many teams will travel pretty far to find that competition. As you get better on a year-round team you will enjoy the higher level competition.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Rachael Kelch<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a lot more people at club swim meets and you will probably swim more than just a few events. They\u2019re usually over a weekend instead of just one day.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Noelle Peplowski<\/p>\n

\u201cIn club swimming you are with more people that are at your speed or even faster. You will be pushed harder.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Chance McQuigg<\/p>\n

\u201cClub practice is a really fun environment, but it\u2019s more serious than summer league swimming because practices are usually longer and tougher. It\u2019s definitely worth every lap in the long run because it\u2019s an easy way to bond with teammates and get ready for some bigger, important meets.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Ashton Adams<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people you swim with will become your best friends because you are all working together to get better. Even though swimming is more of an individual sport, when you are a part of a club team, everyone pushes each other and wants everyone to do well at the end of the season. Club swimming is also beneficial outside of the pool. Practices are a lot more demanding and take up more time, which teaches you how to manage your time with school, friends, and swimming.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Kate Smarjesse<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve heard advice from experienced club swimmers themselves, it\u2019s time for you to sit down and think.<\/p>\n

Do you want to put in the necessary time and effort to develop your skills? Do you want a new, beneficial\u00a0experience? Or are you completely content with swimming one to two months a year in summer recreational league?<\/p>\n

Whether you decide to pursue\u00a0one option or the other, what matters is that you choose an option that allows you to best enjoy participating in this one-of-a-kind sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
