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

Swimming is tough. It\u2019s a sport that requires every ounce of energy from your mind, body, and soul.<\/p>\n

But sometimes your body can\u2019t take it.<\/p>\n

At\u00a0first you probably don\u2019t believe you\u2019re actually injured. You\u2019re just tired. Just sore. Just having an off day. You\u2019ll be fine tomorrow. You say this to your coach. You repeat it to your teammates. To your parents. To yourself.<\/p>\n

But then it\u2019s back the next day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a ghost pain, you think. Nothing some ibuprofen can\u2019t help, you think. You down a couple pills after practice. You ice. You take all the preventative steps you can. You think you\u2019re better.<\/p>\n

The pain hits again, though. And again. And again.<\/p>\n

\"Icing<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe some days it\u2019s a dull ache all over. Some days it\u2019s a sharper pain, in a centralized area. Some days it doesn\u2019t hurt whatsoever, and you\u2019re on top of the world\u2026until it rears its ugly head the next time you touch the water. Whatever the pain is like, you tell yourself that it\u2019s just part of being an athlete. You comfort yourself with supposed rationale, thinking that this is what happens when you put in the time and effort. But the voice in the back of your head screams, “What if this isn\u2019t normal?!”<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to stop and get out of practice. You\u2019ve never been a quitter. Why start now? You need to finish this practice. You need the yardage. You need to perform well. You have goals you have been striving to reach all season. You\u2019re a determined, hardened veteran of the sport.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to be the swimmer that cries wolf. The swimmer that your teammates scoff at behind your back, saying things like, \u201cthey\u2019re just trying to get out of the set,\u201d or \u201cthey just want attention.\u201d The thought of losing respect along with your skills terrifies you.<\/p>\n

So you do what you can for a while, ignoring the pain during practice. Maybe you go to a trainer and you do some exercises, stretch it out, ice it or heat it. Maybe you do it all on your own. You just have to get through the season, you think. That\u2019s all you have to do. You can\u2019t be injured right now. Downplay it.<\/p>\n

But downplaying it only makes it worse. The next thing you know, you\u00a0can\u2019t move in the water like you used to. Or\u00a0you\u2019re sitting out at a meet. Soon, it\u2019s not only your body that is in pain, but your mind as well. You\u2019re a shell of your former confident self, with worries, fear and regret filling your thoughts on a daily basis, in and out of the pool.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a stigma about being injured when you\u2019re a swimmer. Our wounds aren\u2019t always visible because we aren\u2019t a contact sport. But that doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t a real issue, or that it\u2019s all in your head.<\/p>\n

Whatever others may think, you need to take action immediately, instead of waiting for a miracle to happen. You need to tell your coach. You need to tell your parents. You need to stop swimming when your body is giving you clear signals that it can\u2019t go on. You need to do what\u2019s best for you, because if you are going to be the best you can be, you need your body to be the best it can be.<\/p>\n

Injuries happen in our sport. And they can happen to anyone. You aren\u2019t the only one in the swimming world that\u2019s ever been in serious pain; so don\u2019t be afraid to speak up, and get yourself help as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

You can get through this. It will take time. And persistence. And effort.<\/p>\n

But you will get through this, and emerge with a stronger body, mind, and soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
