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

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.\u00a0Exams are done, you’re finally home, and you get to spend quality time with family and friends. What could go wrong?<\/p>\n

Everything’s perfect…and then you remember that you still have to swim.<\/p>\n

College swimmers are still expected to train over break. Training trip is soon approaching and Championships are just around the corner, so coaches still\u00a0expect us to remain\u00a0in shape.<\/p>\n

If you don’t train with your former club or high school team, you have to head to your local pool to swim on your own.\u00a0It’s hard swimming without your team, and swimming alone is never fun.<\/p>\n

Here are 33 thoughts you have while swimming\u00a0alone:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Okay, I have<\/em> to get in the pool now.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    *stares at workout for 10 minutes*<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    How much yardage can I cut out without feeling too<\/em> guilty?<\/h3>\n

  4. \n

    Maybe I\u2019ll just skip one repeat.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \n

    No, I shouldn\u2019t skip anything.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  6. \n

    *skips an entire round*<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  7. \n

    I shouldn\u2019t have skipped; I feel bad.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  8. \n

    No regrets.<\/h3>\n

  9. \n

    *skips another set*<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  10. \n

    I\u2019ll make it up at the end.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  11. \n

    Who am I kidding, no I won\u2019t.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  12. \n

    I\u2019ve only been in here for 30 minutes?!<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  13. \n

    Wow, I really miss my team.<\/h3>\n

  14. \n

    I can definitely use fins for this set.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  15. \n

    Coach would probably want me to pull this.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  16. \n

    I feel awful.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  17. \n

    I\u2019m going to die during training trip.<\/h3>\n

  18. \n

    Swimming wasn\u2019t this hard last year.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  19. \n

    I don\u2019t think Coach actually<\/em> wanted me to do 10×100 on 1:05.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  20. \n

    *races the old man in the next lane*<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  21. \n

    *feels accomplished for beating him*<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  22. \n

    I wonder if I\u2019ll still be swimming when I\u2019m 80 years old.<\/h3>\n

  23. \n

    It\u2019ll be a miracle if I even make it through training trip alive.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  24. \n

    Do people really swim\u2026for fun?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  25. \n

    Walk away from this lane, I\u2019m not going to share with you.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  26. \n

    I\u2019m going to do one lap of fast butterfly to show everyone I\u2019m a real swimmer.<\/h3>\n

  27. \n

    I wonder if people think I\u2019m an Olympian.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  28. \n

    Sorry, still not going to share my lane.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  29. \n

    I think Coach meant to add 20 seconds to this interval.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  30. \n

    *adds 30 seconds to everything*<\/h3>\n

  31. \n

    There\u2019s a million other things I\u2019d rather be doing right now.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  32. \n

    Like eating. Or sleeping.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  33. \n

    Alright, 3000 yards is enough for today.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
