Six Ways Swimming Makes You More Hirable

Swimming truly is a social sport, and it’s always helpful to know people when you’re networking as you begin your job search.

While swimming is obviously valuable for us physically, many people don’t realize the lasting effects it can have on people as they enter the professional world.

Being a longtime athlete shapes you in more ways than you’d expect and teaches values that you can take with you for the rest of your life.

Here are six ways being a swimmer can make you more hirable to employers:

1. You know the value of hard work.
   You’ve been brought up working hard and doing the same thing day in and day out, even when it produces no results. You know how to work through a drought and adapt the attitude that things will get better as long as you keep working hard.
