By Ashleigh Shanley, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

As finals finish up, and summer rolls around, the idea of going home and taking a break from college life seems like all you need. After spending endless hours in the library, studying for what seems like a million tests, the summer swim slumps can hit you hard.<\/p>\n

After a long year of training and school, a\u00a0nice comfy couch and hours of Netflix sound better than ever. Going home seems like the perfect time to take a break because no one\u00a0is going to monitor your training. Enjoying the sun and forgetting all about swimming can be incredibly easy. \u00a0It is no joke– the summertime swim slumps can be real.<\/p>\n

But summer is like that third 50 in a 200. It’s the time to capitalize when others might be hurting, not slump back and let others pass you by.<\/p>\n

And by having a game plan before you leave school, you can\u00a0make training back home much easier, which will keep your motivation high getting you ready for the coming year.<\/p>\n

1. Set Summer Goals<\/h2>\n

First, set goals for yourself. Whether they are training, health, or competition goals, if you set your sights on something, practicing becomes much easier. Once you create a\u00a0final destination, make small goals throughout the summer to help you reach that end goal. By doing this, your goals will help you to stay motivated throughout the summer. Preparing you to stay committed to you future goals.<\/p>\n

2. Share Your Goals<\/h2>\n

Whether it is\u00a0sharing them with your college teammates, friends at home, a parent or coaches, they can help you stay accountable and keep you directed towards\u00a0completing your goals.<\/p>\n

3. Communicate with Coach<\/h2>\n

Along with personal goals, be sure to talk to your college coaches before you leave. By doing so, you can talk over your summer goals, create a plan, and have a mutual understanding about what you are trying to get out of the summer. Not only will talking to your coaches get you on the same page, but once they know your goals, they can also keep you accountable for your summer plan.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Represent Your Team<\/h2>\n

Finally, remember whom you are doing it for. Sometimes when you are home, it can be hard to remember to work hard and make your team proud. But just remember, when practice is at its worst, and you are feeling broken down, do not just skip out. Keep in mind\u00a0<\/strong>that your teammates are going through the same thing. Always think about\u00a0the goals you and your teammates have for the coming\u00a0year. And remember that you are always representing the school on your cap.<\/p>\n

Finals may feel like they are getting the best of you now, and swimming may seem like it is more of a burden than the sport you love. But keep in mind that when it comes down to it, you only have one, two or maybe three years left with these teammates who are your family<\/p>\n

Stay true to the goals you and your team made, make goals for yourself, and share those goals. It will make swimming back home, and the entire summer, much easier and much more enjoyable. Before you know it, you will be back at school competing for your college or university once again. \u00a0And if you step up in the summer, it will work wonders in the fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
