Don’t think record is “threatening”. Was very surprised when some the records still stood while my kids were swimming. It was a bit surreal. I would jokingly tease my kids that they didn’t beat me or bet them some candy from concessions if they beat my time.

I swam club beginning around 8-9 years old. My parents did put me in a variety of activities when I was young. Did figure skating, swimming, basketball, tball, and soccer. Lived on a cul de sac of kids and was always running around outside. I did travel soccer and swimming until about 8th grade when something had to give.

During HS joined a club that was intense - doubles practices, etc. Trained with swimmers going to Pan American games and US Olympic Trials. I eventually got burned out. Parents were focused on school, swimming was something for fun if school work was being kept up with. Bad grades and I would be out of swimming. I missed out on a lot of social things too due to swim in HS.

I swam D3 and actually played soccer again in college after not playing in HS. Was named MVP in swim program freshmen year, but eventually gave up swimming in junior year when I went abroad. Could have swam at university abroad but I wanted to see the other country and not the inside of another pool. Got job out of college with consulting firm. Rest is history. I don’t swim in a masters program, but wish I did.[/quote]

My summer pool has started a summer masters program... but it doesn't work with my work schedule. [/quote]
