You were on a swim team? What did you swim? Sorry to jump out of nowhere like this. I used to be on one too.

I was actually on two swimteams, and for about half a year I was on both of them at the same time, so my schedule was kind of “eat, sleep, school, SWIM FOR YOUR LIFE, rinse, repeat.”

My favorites were the short freestyle sprints and butterfly, but my coaches said my forte was backstroke.  I never liked backstroke, I don’t like not seeing where I’m going. Even with the flags to tell you when you’re approaching the wall, I still often miscounted my strokes and hit it really hard. D:
