Embracing the Mindset of a Summer League Swimmer

By focusing on one day or workout at a time, maintaining a positive and enthusiastic attitude helps you find purpose in what you are doing.

You’re 7 years old, and your alarm sounds at 8:30 a.m. on a sunny summer day. You eagerly hop out of bed, eat a hearty breakfast, grab your swim gear and ride your bike to your local outdoor pool.

Practice begins at 9 and ends at 10, and that hour of fun keeps you excited for the days that lie ahead. Your entire summer revolves around summer swim team, and you wouldn’t want it any other way.

For many swimmers, their journey began in such fashion. Swimming was fun and exciting; the team spirit, cheers, and camaraderie made it easy to look forward to the next season.
