When I was younger I was on a swim team for my school from age 6-18. Some of the best memories I have in life have been from swim meets or practice, and to this day my best friends come from that team. I loved swimming in the summer the most, the team had the opportunity to swim outside, play games outside and have parties. Swimming has given me excellent team work skills as well as leadership skills. I miss the feeling of being in a competition and giving it all you have to win a race. I loved to swim backstroke, and that carried with me through my high school years. Even though I was on the high school team, I still competed in the meets for my rec team over the winter. I still go back once a year and participate in the "alumni swim meet" that my high school has every year.
