Swimming became a true sport in the 19th century when Great Britain began to start holding competitions to see who could get from one side of the pool to the other the fastest. The first type of stroke that they used was breaststroke because that was the easiest way to swim at the time while still being able to breathe.

goals. When I originally started swimming at age six I thought it was just to build my endurance like the doctor said. I got more into the swimming until I got to a stopping point and I just wanted to quite. Until I started building myself up to where I am now and now I can’t even see myself quitting this. I set high expectation for myself and swimming has my full attention and my whole heart. When I was born with asthma the doctor told my parents to put me in swimming to build up my endurance.

to my teammate as we ran on our tippy toes to get to the tents. It was freezing outside, so we bundled up in jackets and blankets as soon as we sat down. I;ve been swimming most of my life, but this was one of my first year round swim meets. I had just swam a 50 free (freestyle) and only had one event lift…..the 500 meter freestyle.

Once the swimmer was able to establish a baseline time, indicating consistency in time, the imagery intervention was introduced. The investigator

“I never thought you would be that good at swimming.” Those kind words spoken by my mom resounded with me. A harsh truth, but at 17 and looking back, I had to agree with her; it was undeniable. Flashback six or seven years ago and you would have to agree with us too. I stood a mere five feet tall, weighing a little over 110 pounds.

Every swimmer has that one event which the dread or wish didn 't exist. For different swimmers, this “Event of Doom” may vary from the 500 yard freestyle or the 200 yard butterfly.
