A List of Every Swimmer’s Worst Nightmares<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Olivia McKelvey<\/em><\/p>\n

Life is full of the unknown. It likes to take abrupt twists and turns and throws the occasional curveball just to keep you on your toes. So, when it comes time to put on your game face and dip your toes into the immense puddle of competition, expect the unexpected. Compiled below are some of the most frightening scenarios that can turn any swimmer from calm, cool and collected to petrified, shocked and vulnerable. Enjoy this spine-chilling read!<\/p>\n

1. Goggles Break Behind the Blocks<\/h3>\n

<\/div>\n
Fear engulfs your body as you hear the snap of the straps rip halfway over your head – or perhaps it was the nose piece that failed you this time as it split down the middle, preventing any unification of the right and left goggle. Before you realize what has happened, your legs are in a frantic dash to the nearest goggle back-up location. The question still remains though – will you make it back to the block on time?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2. Your Cap Falls off At the Beginning of your Race<\/h3>\n
As you begin your streamlined ascent to the surface, you feel the layer of silicone slipping further and further off of your scalp. By the time you reach your breakout, your cap is nothing but a floating duck in the middle of your lane. Whether you’re swimming the 50 or the 1650, that extra drag is the last thing you need to worry about. A race with no cap might just be the icing on top of the cake when it comes to meet-day dilemmas.<\/div>\n

3.\u00a0 No Cool Down Pool<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/div>\n
The lactic acid is burning up in your legs, your lungs are screaming for oxygen, and you have to find every ounce of energy left to pull yourself out of the pool. This is the routine many swimmers go through after hitting the touch pad. Next, you would typically begin the trek to the warm down pool. Yet, in some rare cases, no trek can be made. Some aquatic\u00a0centers lack the ability to hold both a competition and separate warm-up and cool down pool, resulting in every swimmer’s competitive nightmare: they must resort to extreme amounts of rolling out and stretching to recover their sore and tingling muscles.<\/div>\n

\u00a04.\u00a0<\/strong>Missing your Race<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/div>\n
It’s quite the whirlwind experience\u00a0to read your name on the scoreboard and then realize\u00a0that you should be in that lane swimming the 200 IM right now instead of sitting in a lawn chair eating a pre-race fruit roll-up. Panic surges through you as you sprint to the nearest heat sheet only to confirm\u00a0your nightmare-come-true. Good luck providing a sound explanation to your coach about this one!<\/div>\n

5. Your Tech Suit Rips, but the Show Must Go On<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What is a meet without a swimmer sporting some sharpie to cover-up any evidence of a torn suit? The lucky ones are those who are fortunate enough to have minimal damage and the option of using permanent marker to cover their exposed flesh. Others are not so lucky – tearing their suit right down the middle of the butt or yanking off an entire strap. Hopefully, you brought your back-ups and can prevent yourself from falling into the horror of this nightmare.<\/div>\n

6. Jumping Early on a Relay Exchange<\/h3>\n

<\/div>\n
As the woman at the end of your lane covered head to toe in all white slowly but surely raises her hand, you realize you’re watching your worst nightmare unravel right in front of you – and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. For you know just as well as the official that the swimmer in your beloved lane one jumped a hair too soon. So much for “outside smoke.”<\/div>\n

7. DQ for DQ?<\/h3>\n
Flinch on the block, performing an open turn with one hand, mimicking the Lochte backstroke streamline push-off and BOOM, instant disqualification. Whether it be an average high school dual meet or the Olympic Trials<\/a>, the news of any disqualification is a nightmare for all. On the bright side of things, many of us grew up with the old swim parent trick of disqualification meaning an ice cream trip to Dairy Queen to cheer up the kids: DQ for a DQ. Does this trick still work as we enter the open age groups years and even college swimming careers?<\/div>\n

8. Missing the Wall<\/h3>\n
This is the nails-on-the-chalk-board moment in swimming, as some might say. Nothing can break down your race mentality more than missing a wall. You can practically hear the “oh no’s” and gasps from your teammates as they witnessed the mistake. Swimming is a sport where every second counts. To make up for lost time, you feverishly squirm around to find any form of streamline possible, put your head down and get that hand on the wall.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
