Why Should I Join?

 A lot of people wonder why they should join a swim team. Well, the reasons could be endless depending on the person and the situation. For example, some people may want to join swim team because they love to swim and be in the pool. For some of the younger swimmers their parents sign them up so they can learn this life skill. One of the reasons why you should join is because of the exercise. Most swim teams have practices for an hour 4-5 times a week, which is great for your fitness and it's proven that swimming is the best way of exercising. Another reason why you should join a swim team is because of the time you get to spend with friends. Some kids join swim team with a friend so they know that they will know someone there. If you join by yourself don’t be too frightened though. I can almost guarantee that you will make a ton of friends by the end of the first week of practice. I know on my team we can’t wait for more kids to join. Some people wonder if they should even try being on a swim team because they aren’t the best swimmers. Well, if you want to join go ahead and join. The coaches will help you improve your strokes and you’ll be swimming faster than you could imagine before you know it. You won’t be the only one either. A lot of swimmers start off just being able to get in the water and keep their head above it. I have been swimming for around six years now and I don’t know how I kept myself busy before I was in swimming. I don’t mean to be mean or anything but in personal experiences of my friends, family, and I you’ll learn how to swim faster on a swim team than you will being in swimming lessons. So if you just want to learn quick and be done with it, I would recommend trying a swim team first. If you don’t mind it taking the lessons for a while then go ahead and try swimming lessons. Either way you will eventually learn how to be a great swimmer.
