I can't go through by any body of water without wanting to swim in it. The ocean, a pool, lakes, ponds, name anything and I will want to swim through it. I'll even go out of my way to step in a puddle on the other side of the street. I can't help it. I just love water too much.
That said it shouldn't surprise anyone that I'm a swimmer. I've been competitively swimming since I was nine, but I've loved the water since I was a baby. My favorite baby picture is when I'm in my stroller with a swimsuit and goggles on, eager to jump into the pool. At nine i joined the swim team. Starting at that age up until i was 18 i would swim for three hours everyday. All because I loved to glide through the water.
Who doesn't like gliding through the water?!! Its awesome. Were there any individuals who may have impacted your decision to swim for such a long time? Three hours is a lot, but i imagine you felt great after. But what would motivate you to stick with it for such a long period?
