By Seren Jones, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that only four months ago we commenced our senior year. The thought of going through the collegiate swimming cycle for the final time was slowly but surely beginning to sink in. The difference between then and now, is rather than having two semesters left, we have one.<\/p>\n

In fact, we can\u2019t even call it a semester, but merely a few months, if that. The fastest time of the year will rapidly approach, firstly due to the swift passing of the holiday. Next is winter break training, where most of us are fortunate enough to go abroad for around a week, which also dramatically hastens the \u201cghost town campus\u201d experience. But before we know it, everyone\u2019s back, classes have kick-started, and we enter the most wonderful time of the year: taper.<\/p>\n

Taper means conference; conference means fast swimming; fast swimming may lead to NCAAs; and NCAAs signifies our last meet and thus the end of our time as swimmers, and the beginning of our new chapters as NARPS (non-athletic regular people). So in actuality, we really don\u2019t have that much time left. In the words of my coach, \u201cIf you knew you had only twelve weeks to live, what would you do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Launching into Life<\/h2>\n

Even though I remind myself of this surreal fact every day, I still can\u2019t stop myself from thinking ahead, looking forward. Perhaps it\u2019s my age, my senior status, or the fact that on some days I feel as though I\u2019ve swam one lap too many, but it\u2019s become evident to me this past season that life continues after swimming.<\/p>\n

Life extends beyond the chlorine, and goggle marks, and constant exhaustion and lethargy, and adorable Jolyns. Teammates may not be replaced, but we will cross paths with others who may or may not stay in our lives for years to come. So I\u2019d be lying if I said I wasn\u2019t excited to begin this new chapter. To enter a world where my priorities will change; where time is not measured by the millisecond; where I\u2019m able to go home after school or work and just sit on the sofa; where if I don\u2019t feel like pushing myself during physical exercise, I simply won\u2019t, and it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

Should I feel guilty for feeling this way? For fantasizing about such thoughts, and almost wishing away the last months of my career? Is it wrong to be excited about retiring from the sport that greatly contributed toward the making of the person I am today? Honestly, I\u2019ve no idea. I\u2019d like to think that there is no right answer in this perplexing equation, and I\u2019d also like to think that some people are on the same boat, or in the same lane as I am.<\/p>\n

Forever Grateful<\/h2>\n

\"viginia-team-hug\"<\/p>\n

Despite these exciting yet frightening thoughts and fantasies, I still find myself indebted to the sport. And perhaps I always will be. Swimming has taught me what it\u2019s like to be competitive, to fight for something; what it means to achieve a goal, be it short term or long term. I have experienced determination, motivation, and drive \u2013 traits and lessons that I will be able to take with me into the next chapters of wherever my life may lead. It has provided me with moments and relationships that will always be cherished and never replaced. I\u2019ve learned to never give up, no matter how pointless, unbearable, painful, or intolerable this life may seem.<\/p>\n

I guess my point is that it\u2019s okay to not know what to think. It\u2019s okay to be torn between wanting to get out of the pool and clinging onto the wall. Although four months ago, I wrote about swimming this final year<\/a> for our parents, our coaches and ourselves, perhaps it\u2019s time to swim for our sport. Maybe these last few months will be dedicated to swimming and everything it has given us, provided for us and most importantly, taught us.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it will be our way of saying \u201cthank you,\u201d for the lessons, the mistakes, the memories, the pains and the successes. Perhaps we owe our final semester to the pool deck, to our sport. So in regard to the question, \u201cif you knew you had only twelve weeks to live, what would you do?\u201d the answer is everything you ever wanted in life.<\/p>\n

So seniors, we have twelve weeks left of our swimming careers. We\u2019re so close to the end after all these years, it would be foolish of us to not finish on a high. Let\u2019s ensure that we achieve everything we want on this final lap, and look back in five, ten, or 20 years\u2019 time, with no regrets – knowing that some of the best years of our lives were spent in college swimming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
