By Chandler Brandes, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

Training trip is full of warm weather, spending time at the beach, and plenty\u00a0of cute Instagram photos, right?\u00a0Oh, and let’s not forget the hours and hours of swimming\u00a0and the hardest training of\u00a0our lives. While college teams’ annual training trips are\u00a0a\u00a0ton of fun, they are also full of hard work and a lot of emotional ups and downs.<\/p>\n

Day One: Frightened\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a freshman, you\u2019re terrified. You\u2019ve heard stories from your older teammates about the hard sets, the fast intervals, and the insane amount of meters swum daily. You\u2019ve been anxious for this all semester, and when it\u2019s finally here, you don\u2019t know what to do with yourself. Even as an upperclassman, you\u2019re still nervous. You know from experience how hard training trip is, and you never know what sets Coach has been planning for the past year.<\/p>\n

Day Two: Scared<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019re still anxious for the days to come because of the emotionally scarring day one. The first day was really hard, and Coach is definitely not letting you \u201cease in.\u201d You\u2019ve started to mentally prepare yourself for how much harder it\u2019ll get. You may be telling yourself, \u201cEhh, maybe it won\u2019t be that<\/em> bad,\u201d but in the back of your mind, you know this will be the hardest week of training you\u2019ve ever done. And just when you think it can\u2019t get any worse, you see Coach draw brackets.<\/p>\n

Day Three: Settled<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You now know what to expect. You\u2019ve stopped trying to guess what the next set will be: it\u2019s pointless; no one knows what Coach will say. You\u2019ve stopped saying silent prayers that it will be easy; you know that it won\u2019t be. \u201cHope for the best, expect the worst\u201d has become your new motto.<\/p>\n

Day Four: Adjusted\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By now, the transition from yards to meters seems more natural. You\u2019ve gotten into such a routine that you are now completely comfortable in your surroundings. You know exactly what you\u2019ll eat and when you\u2019ll eat it, and all of your naps have been scheduled. It seems like you\u2019ve lived in the hotel your entire life, and the pool seems no different than the one back at school.<\/p>\n

Day Five: Fatigued\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019re physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. As soon as you dive in for warm up, you feel like your arms are going to fall off. You\u2019re not sure how you\u2019ll be able to take another stroke, and you\u2019ve probably questioned why you ever became a swimmer at least once every 50 meters. You miss your friends and family back at home, and getting their texts and Snapchats certainly doesn\u2019t help. Some of your teammates may be getting on your nerves, and it\u2019s impossible not to roll your eyes at Coach\u2019s jokes at 5:30 in the morning.<\/p>\n

Day Six: Accomplished\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You finally take a step back and realize all that you\u2019ve done so far. Even through the pain, fatigue, and constant soreness, you\u2019ve accomplished something amazing. You\u2019re still exhausted, but you\u2019re starting to feel like you\u2019ve mastered training trip. The burning pain barely phases you anymore, but you\u2019re over halfway and coming down the homestretch now.<\/p>\n

Day Seven: Relieved\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s finally the last day. One week ago, you never thought this day would come. You\u2019re glad to be soon returning to short course, and you are genuinely surprised that all of your limbs are still attached to your body. In between all of the swimming, you\u2019ve bonded with your teammates, you\u2019ve spent some time at the beach, and created memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
