But, we have chosen a sport that doesn&#8217;t change even as the world just never seems to stop.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming is a sport that we won&#8217;t ever quite be done with. Even when we think we are. Swimmers, swammers, and coaches alike can turn to a pool, a place called home to so many, and instantly feel at peace.\u00a0We can do it when we&#8217;re a year out of college, and we can do it when we&#8217;re 80 years old. The chlorinated air\u00a0is familiar, and the rush we feel when we dive in is habitual.<\/p>\n<p>You may claim that you&#8217;ll never look at a pool again, or even <em>think <\/em>about the sport\u00a0once you&#8217;ve officially &#8220;retired.&#8221; But we all know once you&#8217;re in this sport, there&#8217;s just no getting out. You know you&#8217;ll be the first to pull up a chair to the TV\u00a0during the Olympics because watching these races brings back every memory, every smile, every ounce of hard work that you threw into your time in the sport. And of course, you love a good race.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_217525\" style=\"width: 524px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-217525\" data-attachment-id=\"217525\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/how-mallory-comerford-can-represent-the-usa-at-world-champs\/dirado-smith-ledecky-800fr-relay-hug\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/dirado-smith-ledecky-800fr-relay-hug.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1506,1218\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"dirado-smith-ledecky-800fr-relay-hug\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;8\/10\/16&lt;br \/&gt;\ndirado-smith-ledecky-800fr-relay-hug&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Jack Gruber-USA TODAY Sports&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/dirado-smith-ledecky-800fr-relay-hug-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/dirado-smith-ledecky-800fr-relay-hug-1024x828.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-217525\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/dirado-smith-ledecky-800fr-relay-hug-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"dirado-smith-ledecky-800fr-relay-hug\" width=\"514\" height=\"367\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-217525\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Jack Gruber-USA TODAY Sports<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Swimming is your safe haven, your protection that you can run to.
