Practices, meets and keeping up with schoolwork make up what seem like endless days. From pushing the pencil to donning the cap and goggles, we follow a strict schedule &#8211; eat, sleep, swim, a little homework and then repeat. Although college teams have different layouts, a day&#8217;s work is generally laid out in the order below. How do you relate to a day in the life of a college swimmer?<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Practice<\/h2>\n<p>Wake up for practice. Yippee! There\u2019s nothing better than jumping in an icy pool before your brain begins to function! This isn&#8217;t, however, as fun as some might think. With a full day of classes ahead, waking up early may affect our ability to focus not only during class but also when chipping away at the endless pile of homework. This makes getting up early that much harder!<\/p>\n<p>For some, this is our main practice. For others, this is just a wake-up swim &#8211; there\u2019s more to come in the afternoon. If you\u2019re really lucky, you <em>don&#8217;t<\/em> have to get up early, and your only practice is later on in the day.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Breakfast &amp; Morning Class<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_312251\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-312251\" data-attachment-id=\"312251\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/summer-swim-leagues-had-me-a-blast\/pancake-breakfast\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pancake-breakfast.png\" data-orig-size=\"885,583\" 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=\"Pancake-breakfast\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Pancake-breakfast&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Linnaea Mallette&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pancake-breakfast-700x500.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pancake-breakfast.png\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-312251\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pancake-breakfast-700x500.png\" alt=\"Pancake-breakfast\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-312251\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Linnaea Mallette<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Time to begin the day! Actually, time to eat 17 plates of food with the rest of the dining hall ogling your heaping plates. Most athletes tend to have at least one 8 or 9 a.m. class throughout their college career; it\u2019s almost impossible to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>So, after practice, swimmers usually have an awkward amount of time waiting for class to begin. Sometimes class is near the pool, so you&#8217;re able to spend your time wisely by eating and doing homework. However, this doesn&#8217;t make up for the lovely chlorine smell that inevitably follows you around all day. Get ready for whiff of chlorine, classmates!<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: Nap Time<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_348172\" style=\"width: 396px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-348172\" data-attachment-id=\"348172\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/making-the-grade-study-tips-for-student-athletes\/sleep-food\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sleep-Food-.png\" data-orig-size=\"386,475\" 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=\"Sleep-Food\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Sleep-Food&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: McKenna Ehrmantraut &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sleep-Food-.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sleep-Food-.png\" class=\"size-full wp-image-348172\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sleep-Food-.png\" alt=\"Sleep-Food\" width=\"386\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sleep-Food-.png 386w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sleep-Food--163x200.png 163w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sleep-Food--300x369.png 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sleep-Food--150x185.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-348172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: McKenna Ehrmantraut<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By this time, you\u2019ve completed a class or two and that 5 a.m. wake-up call is beginning to catch up with you.

If there\u2019s one thing that most swimmers can relate to, it\u2019s this: Water and land sports are completely different. While most college swimmers are like fish in the water, they can\u2019t run or catch a ball to save their lives. Others may have a bit more out-of-water athleticism. Regardless, they try their best to finish a good practice.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: Dinner<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_315002\" style=\"width: 619px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-315002\" data-attachment-id=\"315002\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-big-deal-about-a-swimmers-nutrition\/lochte-stremline-food\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/lochte-stremline-food.png\" data-orig-size=\"609,530\" 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=\"lochte-stremline-food\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;lochte-stremline-food&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Twitter, @RyanLochte&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/lochte-stremline-food-609x500.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/lochte-stremline-food.png\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-315002\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/lochte-stremline-food-609x500.png\" alt=\"lochte-stremline-food\" width=\"609\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-315002\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Twitter, @RyanLochte<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Finally, practices are over for the day!
