Arm Bands In The Early Stages Of Swimming

In The Swimmer a short story by John Cheever a man named Neddy Merrill decides to swim across every pool in the county naming his route the Lucinda River after his wife. As he goes on this journey some of his neighbors are nice, some show pity, and others show distaste for him. Throughout the story Cheever gives subtle hints that Neddy is disoriented as he doesn’t remember key details of things that have happened to his friends in the area. At the end of the story a disoriented Neddy reaches his home to find it empty, with his family gone. Cheever uses this short story to critique the way of life in the upper class suburbs of America that contributed to the social demise of Neddy Merrill

I have been in the State College Area High School Marching Band for the past four years. I play the tenor saxophone and I am a mentor to the younger band players by providing help with marching skills. I am a lifeguard and a swim instructor for the State College YMCA.

Working as a lifeguard, I have to communicate with other lifeguards in order to prevent drownings. As a swim instructor, I also have learned to communicate well with kids and their parents during lessons. I have also volunteered at Juniper Village at Brookline, since February 2015.

Growing up, I was surrounded by the constant whirlwind of athletics. I rushed between softball games, swim meets, dance recitals, soccer games, and gymnastics performances. When I realized I couldn’t participate in all of these at once, I decided to focus on swimming, and for the next 10 years, spent 30+ hours a week in the water. As my team and I continued to grow, and train, so did our bodies. We endured pulled muscles, torn meniscuses, sprained ankles, and countless labrum tears. It wasn’t just them that suffered, but also their performance in the water.

On swim team, I had practice most every day other than the weekends because we normally attended a swim meet on Saturdays. I won the academic athlete award both years I participated. I swam for the high school team in eighth, ninth, and tenth grade.
