Undergraduate / "Swimming seems like a fun and easy" - Short Answer Common App [3]

"Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below"

"Swimming seems like a fun and easy sport to do," I thought while signing up for the swim team my Junior year. The first week I swallowed what felt like a gallon of chlorinated water from the pool and came home aching from the 100 free sprints. Swimming seemed like a fun sport, but definitely not easy. It works every muscle in your body to their limit. The more work I put into swimming, the more respect I have gained for it. Swimming taught me to work hard toward achieving my goals. Whether it was a hard practice or a big meet, I have had to give one hundred percent everyday to keep up with my teammates and my opponents. Every race is not just about winning and coming in first, but more importantly, overcoming my own times and becoming a better swimmer.
