Distance Swimmer
You are a DISTANCE swimmer! The most physically and mentally in shape person on the team. You can stomach any practice, and laugh at those who complain. You probably have a song of the week in your head when you swim, and concentrate mostly on your long pulls and a consistent kick throughout your race. You love swimming long distance because you're in the water longer for the audience to cheer you on!
Maybe your ♥ sent my ♥ a secret message that said:
I've been waiting for you...let's go.

Swimming is lonely. The swimmer's mightiest challenge is to tune out. It's the only sport where you can never know exactly how well you're doing until it's too late to do anything about it. There is no sound of footsteps or trash talk or heavy breathing in the next lane, just the muffled roar from fans who may be cheering for winners or screaming for losers. There is no other reality but the water, and any distraction from this dreamlike state - the recollection of an earlier conversation or the vision of a girl - can ruin a race. The mind can wander very easily, that's the difference between giving 98% or 100% or the difference between a world record or last place
