By Brad Klein, Swimming World Intern.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are various traditions I associate with attending a sporting event as a fan. Heckling at the referee, accumulating peanut shells at the ballpark and the hoots and hollers of the student sections are all to be expected at a major sport competition.<\/p>\n

Much different are the hoots and hollers that echo throughout the humid, chlorine-filled aquatic center from teammates and from parents who are just as dedicated to the time-consuming sport that is swimming. As I first stepped into the large pool area at Rutgers for the Sunday morning session at the CeraVe Invite, an overwhelming heat wave smacked my face, making me want to turn back towards the air-conditioned car, despite the low temperature and snow on the ground in central New Jersey.<\/p>\n

If it weren’t for the humidity, you may confuse a swim meet with a seven-year-old\u2019s birthday party, where children compete to see who can make the loudest sound. Except here, it is the adult coaches who hoot and holler at their swimmers.<\/p>\n

After several hours of listening to this cheering, I developed a theory that they have a communication system developed from practice. Maybe \u201cHOOT!\u201d means go faster, and \u201cHA\u201d means you have the lead? Can the swimmers actually hear their coaches through the water, and do they actually respond to that instruction? Tough to tell.<\/p>\n

In land sports that I am used to, different stances and strategies are used. However, in swimming, there are different strokes, and each competition is categorized by stroke. Why do they do that? Isn’t the goal to go fast? Why do swimmers swim butterfly if freestyle is faster?<\/p>\n

In basketball, the goal is to have more points than the other team at the end of the game. But the games aren’t categorized by how many points each shot is worth. By that logic, backstroke seems meaningless. In my eyes, it is the equivalent of a soccer game in which the players are only able to use their left feet. Why must the sport make the competition unnecessarily difficult on the swimmers, as if they have one hand tied behind their backs?<\/p>\n

Despite my lack of understanding for the sport, I can of course appreciate the physical difficulty of swimming. A good swimmer is obviously in tip top shape. Speed, strength and endurance are all keys to becoming a champion swimmer. But don\u2019t swimmers get bored during a two-hour practice or a long-distance race like the 1500?<\/p>\n

Unlike in most other sports, there\u2019s no way to play defense in swimming. Did some of these kids chose to swim because playing defense in other sports was boring? Defense is just as important as offense in any sport that involves a ball, but in swimming it\u2019s physically not possible\u2014unless a swimmer decided to tug on opponent\u2019s ankle during the race.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, swimming just does not make sense to me. But that\u2019s to be expected since I never swam competitively. But with that said, I do respect the time and energy swimmers and swim coaches put in to achieve greatness. Plus, swimmers have the advantage of always being in shape for beach season.<\/p>\n
