4 Groups of People Swimmers Are Thankful For<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Courtney Bartholomew, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

(From the Archive)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that time of year again. When swimmers start to become excited about a day dedicated to eating, taking a nap, and then eating again. I, for one, am really excited about Thanksgiving this year and it\u2019s not because of the mashed potatoes. While I am unable to go home and spend the holiday weekend with my family due to swimming commitments, I have been extended an invitation to spend Thanksgiving with a former teammate\u2019s family. To me, there is nothing more generous than a family opening their door to someone during the holidays, and for that I am extremely thankful.<\/p>\n

As Thanksgiving rolls around this week, I think it\u2019s important to recognize and highlight four important groups of people that swimmers are thankful for.<\/p>\n

1. Teammates<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everyday swimmers dive into a pool, knowing that practice might be difficult, but we do it anyway to work towards a goal. We travel for long hours on buses to get to dual meets, sit in libraries studying until the wee-hours of the morning, and eat questionable food in dining halls to fuel our bodies.<\/p>\n

However, we rarely do any of these things without our teammates by our side. Through these countless hours and numerous experiences of college and collegiate swimming, our teammates become our family away from home. It\u2019s time to say thanks to our teammates for the support and encouragement they give on a daily basis, whether it be for that research paper you have due next week (that you haven\u2019t started) or for a swimming goal you are attempting at a mid-season meet. To the teammates who make 12-hour bus trips laughable and fun with endless jokes and comments. To the teammates who send Facebook videos of puppies and posts about chicken nuggets to keep you entertained during library hours. To the teammates who watch holiday movies with you in June and stay up late laughing with you about absolutely nothing of importance. Teammates are not only your friends, but also your family.<\/p>\n

2. Friends<\/h2>\n

While I love giving thanks to teammates for all that they do, I think it\u2019s also important to recognize and give thanks to the non-swimmer friends. These are the friends who understand that you swam 20 hours this past week and you have 200 pages of reading to do for a\u00a0class, so they bring you coffee and snacks in the library. These are the friends who know you are on taper, so they offer to drive you to class so you do not have to walk and waste energy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to say thanks to these friends for all of their \u201ccheerleading efforts\u201d as one of my friends calls it, and for their unconditional friendship, even during the dark days of pre-season training. So this Thanksgiving, let\u2019s give thanks to the non-swimmer friends for all they do. For helping to make sure I experience all that college has to offer, including sports other than swimming. Thank you for being someone that I can talk to about when I really want to talk about the latest music, how great that movie was the other night, or how we wish we could get a decent night\u2019s sleep. Thank you for sending me text messages in the library, encouraging me to get up out of my bed and do homework. For sending me Snapchats of you eating pizza that make me laugh when I am having a rough day. Thank you for being at all my swim meets and being my #1 cheerleader (other than my mom). Thank you for providing unforgettable experiences outside of the pool and for making sure I have a balance between being a swimmer and a student.<\/p>\n

3. Coaches<\/h2>\n

While teammates and friends are important to making sure swimmers stay sane and have fun outside the pool. It’s essential to recognize all the hard work that our coaches put into facilitating the process of achieving our dreams and ambitions. It is time to thank\u00a0the coaches who show up day in and day out to get you one step closer to the dream.<\/p>\n

Thank you for being up at the crack of dawn, ready to motivate the team for a practice. For analyzing how I could have made certain adjustments in one race to go .05 faster. For listening to me talk about my goals and ambitions, then helping me make them a reality. Thank you for getting splits when I pace and during my race. For cracking jokes over sets or when I mess up the intervals. For understanding that I have a test and need more time to study. Thank you for dedicating your time and effort for our team\u2019s goals and for my swimming aspirations.<\/p>\n

4. Family<\/h2>\n

Even though I will not be going home this Thanksgiving to be with my family, I am so thankful to have them in my life. As swimmers, sometimes we forget that it was our parents that drove us to those early morning practices before we obtained that coveted drivers license. We take for granted the idea that our family is always just a phone call away when you have had a bad day or call with a question about laundry.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to give thanks to the people in our lives who will always be there, no matter what. The ones who offer love and encouragement for everything you do. Thank you to the parents who sacrifice their time and money to make sure their child is able to compete in the sport they love. For the siblings who will text you back at 10:44 p.m. on a weeknight when you really need someone\u2019s opinion on an important matter. For the family members who travel hours to watch you compete and cheer loudly when your name is announced. Thank you, family, for always being there with your unconditional love and support.<\/p>\n

So this Thanksgiving when you\u2019re sitting around the dinner table with a massive plate of food, remember to thank the remarkable people in your life for all that they do!<\/p>\n

A little bonus that I couldn\u2019t forget to mention…<\/h2>\n

Thank you swimming for allowing me to burn enough calories during a practice to be able to eat that second helping of stuffing AND a slice of the homemade pumpkin pie. However, everything in moderation friends, we still want to be able to practice on Friday morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
