5 Ways You Can Contribute to Your Swim Team the Best Way

I've been a swimmer my whole life, and I still love the feeling of jumping into the pool and swimming laps. But sometimes it can be hard to fit in as an older swimmer--especially if you're not on a team that competes against other teams.

  1. 5 WAYS YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR SWIM TEAM THE BEST WAY

  2. MAKE A LOT OF NOISE WHEN YOU'RE IN THE POOL, SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR YOU Make a lot of noise when you're in the pool, so everyone can hear you. If you aren't sure if your coach can hear you, ask them. It's important that they know where all their swimmers are so they can give direction, advice, and encouragement if needed. If the whole team is making noise then it will be easier for them to do this job!

  3. Don't let anyone get in your way when you're swimming Don't swim in front of other swimmers. It's rude and dangerous! If you see someone coming up behind you, move over as much as possible so they can pass easily without having to do extra work or risk colliding with another person.

  4. DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH OTHER SWIMMERS This is a big one! If you see someone looking at you, do not look back. It's rude, distracting and scary for the person who is being stared at. Also it's just plain weird to be staring at people who are doing their best to focus on their strokes and breathing patterns--and possibly trying to ignore your existence altogether!

  5. Jump in time with the coach's count Don't get in the way of other swimmers. When you're practicing, stay out of other people's way and allow them room to move around freely. You don't want them bumping into you or getting slowed down by your actions, so make sure that when they pass by, they have plenty of space (and don't stare at them!).
