The water can almost take on an embodied character in our lives; as we grow and change, our relationship with swimming evolves and teaches us something new about ourselves and the sport. If swimming were a person, how would you interact? Here are five personalities that swimming can mimic throughout your swimming career.<\/p>\n<h2>Sometimes, swimming is our parents.<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_343678\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-343678\" data-attachment-id=\"343678\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/water-in-the-flesh-if-swimming-were-a-person\/robuck-family-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/robuck-family.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,896\" 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=\"robuck-family\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;robuck-family&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Angela Robuck&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/robuck-family-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/robuck-family.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-343678 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/robuck-family-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"robuck-family\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-343678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Angela Robuck<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Swimming can be our parents constantly watching our every move. Sometimes, we just can\u2019t get them off of our backs! They ask questions, wanting to know where we\u2019re going, what we\u2019re doing, or when we\u2019ll be home. Although it can be too much at times, they only want what\u2019s best for us because they love us. They know our full potential and what we\u2019re truly capable of better than anyone, and they\u2019re hard on us out of love and care. They question us because of their own experiences and what they\u2019ve learned for themselves over time. Although we don\u2019t see their point at first, there comes a point later on in life when we realize the true value behind their actions. Those who were once embarrassing have become our greatest confidantes and believe in us the most.<\/p>\n<h2>Sometimes, swimming is our little siblings.<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_341562\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-341562\" data-attachment-id=\"341562\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/6-tips-for-teaching-swim-lessons\/swim-lessons-little-kid\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/swim-lessons-little-kid.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4896,3264\" 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=\"swim-lessons-little-kid\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;swim-lessons-little-kid 12\/10\/2018&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Porapak Apicodilok&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/swim-lessons-little-kid-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/swim-lessons-little-kid-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-341562 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/swim-lessons-little-kid-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"swim-lessons-little-kid\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-341562\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Porapak Apicodilok<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Some days, swimming is our annoying little sibling that never leaves us alone. We can\u2019t help but want to rip our hair out! Our siblings follow us around all of the time and ask irrelevant questions. They can get us in trouble with our parents for unknown reasons and cry when we say something just slightly assertive. But sometimes, we actually DO love them for what they are. They look up to us every day and ask questions because they trust our answers to be right. They confide is us to scare away the monsters under their beds at night. When it comes down to it, there\u2019s no greater feeling than our siblings looking up to us throughout life. They add rhythm to our rhyme and meaning to our movement.<\/p>\n<h2>Sometimes, swimming is a mean kid.<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_217814\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-217814\" data-attachment-id=\"217814\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/katinka-hosszu-soars-ahead-of-200-back-semi-finals-field\/missy-franklin-maya-dirado-cry-tears-sad-disappointment-teammates-rio\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/missy-franklin-maya-dirado-cry-tears-sad-disappointment-teammates-rio-e1617490339139.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1100,762\" 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=\"Team USA mentors Missy Franklin and Maya DiRado\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Team USA mentors Missy Franklin and Maya DiRado&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Erich Schlegel-USA TODAY Sports&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/missy-franklin-maya-dirado-cry-tears-sad-disappointment-teammates-rio-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/missy-franklin-maya-dirado-cry-tears-sad-disappointment-teammates-rio-1024x709.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-217814 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/missy-franklin-maya-dirado-cry-tears-sad-disappointment-teammates-rio-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"missy-franklin-maya-dirado-cry-tears-sad-disappointment-teammates-rio\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-217814\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Erich Schlegel-USA TODAY Sports<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Some days, swimming is that mean kid<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>in the hallway that trips you and all of your books.

Sometimes, it seems there is no end to their torment, and we don\u2019t see much of a light at the end of the tunnel. But when we get past all of the tough times, these people are what make us stronger. When they show their teeth, sometimes it takes us standing up to them to truly show how much they hurt us. We find our bravery through them and learn to be creative in our efforts to grow. In the end, what once caused so much pain is now the answer to a lot of our questions and made us into who we are today.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_344115\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-344115\" data-attachment-id=\"344115\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/water-in-the-flesh-if-swimming-were-a-person\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"720,503\" 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;1525867264&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;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"fullsizeoutput_2ca0\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;fullsizeoutput_2ca0&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: UNO Swim &amp;amp; Dive&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0-700x500.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0.jpeg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-344115\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0.jpeg\" alt=\"fullsizeoutput_2ca0\" width=\"720\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0-533x372.jpeg 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0-280x196.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0-150x105.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_2ca0-500x349.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-344115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: UNO Swim &amp; Dive<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Sometimes, swimming is our best friend.<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s absolutely no one better than our best friend!
