For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/texas-pool-closed-for-repairs-after-leak-discovered\/\" target=\"_blank\">University of Texas pool<\/a> was closed this past spring due to complications two weeks\u00a0before NCAAs.<\/p>\n<p>Coach\u00a0<strong>Eddie Reese<\/strong>, who&#8217;s led the Longhorn men to thirteen NCAA national championship titles, commented that &#8220;if you can&#8217;t get to another pool, there is nothing you can do to maintain the level of fitness needed at the NCAA level.&#8221; Luckily, the team was able to continue swimming in the diving well and other pools off campus.<\/p>\n<p>Women&#8217;s team head coach <strong>Carol Capitani<\/strong>\u00a0noted, &#8220;I do feel that short term this disruption was a lesson in being grateful, and it may have brought our team closer. Looking back they were able to get the work in and train in less than ideal circumstances, which can only make them better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Swimmers often refer to their training facilities as their &#8220;home pool&#8221; for a reason. The holes in the floor filled with water athletes spend so much time in really come to feel like a second home.<\/p>\n<p>Whether a pool gets drained for some routine maintenance, much needed updates, or unexpected complications, facilities temporarily closing can significantly affect training. Outside of the obvious\u00a0changes in location and schedule that occur, these closed pools can have vast effects on overall momentum and team attitudes as well.<\/p>\n<p>Dealing with changes can be hard, but switching pools can help to teach some valuable lessons for athletics, and beyond.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Flexibility<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_213940\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-213940\" data-attachment-id=\"213940\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/australian-stretch-lean\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/australian-stretch-lean.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1469243054&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;8000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"australian-stretch-lean\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7\/26\/2016&lt;br \/&gt;\naustralian-stretch-lean&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Delly Carr \/ Swimming Australia Ltd.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/australian-stretch-lean-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/australian-stretch-lean-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-213940 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/australian-stretch-lean-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"australian-stretch-lean\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-213940\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Delly Carr \/ Swimming Australia Ltd.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When a facility closure occurs, it can prompt a huge change in typical training structure. But, getting forced to break out from a normal routine can be a blessing in disguise. It helps teach swimmers to be less reliant on their typical schedule, and instead be open and ready for changes.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, increased flexibility can help swimmers get ready for big meets. Warm up schedules and facilities at meets are often different, and having the ability to\u00a0adapt to new surroundings lends a competitive edge.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Patience<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_244993\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-244993\" data-attachment-id=\"244993\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-week-that-was-world-rankings-shake-up-in-indy-and-down-under\/ryan-murphy-backstroke-start-pac-12\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ryan-murphy-backstroke-start-pac-12.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1193,800\" 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=\"ryan-murphy-backstroke-start-pac-12\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3\/8\/17&lt;br \/&gt;\nryan-murphy-backstroke-start-pac-12&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Chuckarelei\/Pac-12&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ryan-murphy-backstroke-start-pac-12-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ryan-murphy-backstroke-start-pac-12-1024x687.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-244993 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ryan-murphy-backstroke-start-pac-12-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"ryan-murphy-backstroke-start-pac-12\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-244993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Chuckarelei\/Pac-12<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Especially if a pool is closed due to unexpected complications, there might not be a definitive timeline for reopening. That can be frustrating. Understanding that these things can take time, even if they interrupt a personal training schedule requires maturity and patience. It takes a special kind of patience to recognize there will always be uncontrollables, but they will eventually pass.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

That means in order to stay in shape some creativity might be involved. Trying different types of cardio like running or spinning classes might introduce you to something else you love. Just like swimming, everything is better with teammates. Spending active time outside of the pool together can bring a team even closer, an added bonus.<\/p>\n<h3>4.

This could\u00a0mean sharing a facility and even pool time with another team. This might make for crowded pools, but it can also lead to new friends. The aquatic community has to stick together, especially when things go wrong.<\/p>\n<p><em>All commentaries are the opinion of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Swimming World Magazine nor its staff.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Erin Keaveny, Swimming World College Intern Facility closure is something that affects programs at all different levels across the country.
