It\u2019s no secret that that one\u2019s mindset shifts in a variety of ways, and what that looks like is different for every swimmer. Here\u2019s a look at a compilation of swimmer thoughts to compare and contrast at the start of the season and at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>First Practice<\/h3>\n<p>\u25cf \u201cWow I almost forgot where the pool is?\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cIt feels so good to be back!\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cTime to start the countdown to champs.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cWhat are my goals and motivators going to be?\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cAh, the smell of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-silent-assassin-is-chlorine-hurting-swimmers-more-than-it-is-helping-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chlorine<\/a>. \u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cOw, I forgot how tight these suits are.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cDid they turn the temperature of the water down in this pool? It\u2019s freezing!\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cWarmup done. That wasn\u2019t so bad.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cThat\u2019s the main set? Easy! Let\u2019s go team!\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cCRAMP CRAMP CRAMP\u2026.it\u2019s okay, swim through the pain, swim through the pain&#8230;\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cIf they touch my feet one more time\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cWhat lap am I on again?\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cThis season I\u2019m going to do every lap of cooldown, I swear it.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cTime to drag myself out of the pool.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cAh the nice warm shower.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cTime to refuel and re-energize with something nice and healthy&#8230;maybe a salad\u2026.what about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/20-delicious-high-protein-foods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protein<\/a>?\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cSo glad to be back on the grind! We\u2019re getting after it this season.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Last Practice<\/h3>\n<p>\u25cf \u201cAnother day, another practice&#8230;I\u2019d rather be anywhere but here\u2026.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cAt least it\u2019s almost over\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cHere comes the cold water\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cWow, my suit has gotten loose\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cMore brackets? Really coach? I thought this was supposed to be taper!\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201c*Replays the same song in their head over and over?\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cWhat lap am I on again?\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cGeez I really thought I would get better about that by the end of the season.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cIf we left on the :35, that means we leave again on the :42, and then on the :10 after that\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cWow champs really is not that far away. That means it\u2019s almost time to cram myself into a techsuit five sizes too small\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cStop touching my feet! Every dang time!\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cHuh, that went by a lot quicker than I thought it would.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cSo if it\u2019s a 500 cooldown I can get away with a 300, maybe a 350, before coach notices\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cWhat should I eat after this is over? Oh, right, everything.\u201d<br \/>\n\u25cf \u201cPart of me is going to miss this, but part of me definitely is NOT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your outlook on a season, just remember that the important thing is always to have fun and make yourself happy. These thoughts listed above do not encompass every swimmer\u2019s mindset throughout a season. Some people\u2019s mindsets never waver. Some people experience a different change. As long as the thoughts you\u2019re having are helping you excel in the pool and meet your goals, that\u2019s all that counts.<\/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>The Changing Thoughts of a Swimmer From the Beginning to End of the Season From the beginning of a season to the end, the mindset of a swimmer changes.
