Who’s Getting In? 12 Types of Swimmers Entering the Pool for Warmup<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Temarie Tomley<\/em><\/p>\n

Swimmers are sometimes known for their distinct ways of entering the pool. Each person has a favorite way to start off practice. Here are 12 of the most common ways that swimmers love to hit the water.<\/p>\n

1. The Classic Diver<\/h2>\n

They are normal. They come to the pool and get it done, no questions asked and no funny business. They see the practice and they do it. Done.<\/p>\n

2. The First In<\/h2>\n

This is the go-getter. This person doesn\u2019t get cold, loves warmup<\/a>, and can\u2019t wait to do the practice. They love swimming and show it by being the first splash in the pool every day.<\/p>\n

3. The Pencil Jumper<\/h2>\n

The safety first swimmer; they believe that the cold shock shouldn\u2019t hit head first, and should be inflicted upon the body part with the least feeling (the feet) first.<\/p>\n

4. The Incher<\/h2>\n

This person goes in a little at a time \u2013 they would rather torture themselves slowly rather than face the shock of hitting the water all in one go. They\u2019re very cautious when it comes to the cold pool and would rather be in a hot tub. They usually end up getting splashed on their way in, so they might as well just jump in.<\/p>\n

5. The Belly Flopper<\/h2>\n

The fun swimmer \u2013 can\u2019t just get in normally, they\u2019ve got to make a splash. It\u2019s going to be cold either way, so they think they might as well make it fun and add some pain too. Maybe it\u2019ll get their mind off the cold because their neck and stomach will be hurting so much they won\u2019t even think about the cold water.<\/p>\n

6. The Pushed<\/h2>\n

This poor person \u2013 they usually hesitate to get in right on the edge of the pool and become an easy target to their teammates. At least they don\u2019t think about it and they get into the pool quickly.<\/p>\n

7. The Pusher<\/h2>\n

The cruel person. They see opportunities and seize them. How can they not push someone in when they\u2019re right there?<\/p>\n

8. The Run Diver<\/h2>\n

They need some extra motivation when getting into the pool, so they run full speed to the pool so that there\u2019s no time to reconsider their actions. They are a bull going in the water \u2013 there\u2019s no stopping them.<\/p>\n

9. The Flag Toucher<\/h2>\n

They always have to be striving for something, so might as well jump for the flags. Everything is a game to them, including getting into the pool.<\/p>\n

10. The Walker<\/h2>\n

This person can\u2019t fathom getting in until they know one lap is over with, which they walk. Once at the other side of the pool, everything seems easier to them \u2013 and it\u2019s harder for the coach to yell at them from across the pool.<\/p>\n

11. The Talker<\/h2>\n

This is the person that talks to the coach for five minutes before practice \u2013 both good and annoying. They sneakily get out of warm up while also distracting the coach from yelling at other teammates to get in.<\/p>\n

12. The Last In<\/h2>\n

This is the person that just \u201ccan\u2019t even\u201d the cold water. They are usually either still asleep or they dread practice so much there\u2019s nothing that will get them into that pool.<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s been one of these types of swimmers at some point in their swimming careers…which are you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
