I was 2 years old when I first took swim lessons. We have a pool so I had private lessons at an early age.I became competitive at the tender age of 4 because my parents and instructer saw potential. I was really good too until when I was 11 I took the year off and when I returned everyone had gotten faster and I had gained weight.
I am a distance swimmer so Im not too sure what my times are for those events.
I started competing at 5 and retired due to an ongoing knee injury at 20. Now I just write my own work outs at a lap pool (so boring!) My uncle and my older brother were both swimmers and it was just natural that I swam too. I learned to swim when I was two as my mom worked at a pool. I coached privately for two years after I graduated. Why did I swim? Swimming was all I knew and it really sucked sitting all day at a meet when I could be in the pool doing it too. It was the grand ole theory of if you can't beat them, join them.
In what steps do you add chemicals to a new pool and how lomg do you wait to go swimming agian?
I'm 24, I'm a great swimmer, I've been swimming since I was 14. I got interested in swimming one time I went to the pool and saw all these hot guys in speedos. I wanted to join in so bad, so I did. I used to be happy just being there surrounded by speedo guys, and did as the coach told and swam all my laps. By the time I turned 15, I realized my body was just as good even better than the guys I was so fixated on. After that, I got really used to people complimenting me on my body, so I'm 24 now, and I can't stop swimming, I learned to love it, and I don't want to give up my body.On average how long would it take for an adult male to learn to swim?
I started swimming competitively for my neighborhood pool when I was seven. My Dad signed me up for it.I liked it a lot the first years because I was fast and had a lot of adreniline, and in 2004 I got sixth place at divisionals out of my age group. My 50 freestyle was very good. My butterfly and IM was awful! I hate butterfly; I can never get the hang of it.
I quit last year (13) because I lost interest and got into other stuff.
