My first college season has just come to an end for the year, and I am reflecting about how the season went. I have been swimming competitively for over 11 years, and have made many memories over the years.
As a college student this year, it was a different experience than I have had in past seasons. Specifically, with the team dynamic. I have made some amazing friends this year, which I normally do not make. I have felt like I have made connections with people that if I was not in swimming, I would not have ever meet. I am thankful for those friends. We see each other regularly and enjoy our time together.
Additionally, I have improved my technique over the season. My coach was able to spend some time with me to focus on my technique to help me improve. Even though my times did not improve, I still had an amazing season and am excited for the next season to start next fall.
