Competitions

In the past weekend I had my second competitions of the season. The events that I had to compete in were the longest of all the events. The competition was held in the university of El Turabo in Caguas. The first day I swam 400 meter IM. The second day of competition was the 1500 meter freestyle. The third day of competition was the 800 meter freestyle, the 400 meter freestyle and the 800 meter freestyle relay. I worked really hard for this competition and it was a complete success for me and my team. I broke my personal record in some of my events and I am very happy of it. I really hope I keep doing well in competitions but I have to work hard for it.
See ya' guys later. -Swim97

Work Hard

If you want something you have to work hard for it; because nothing is impossible in this life. I want to be a good swimmer and get a scholarship to get in a good university but I have to work hard to get it. First of all I have to get good grades and I have to put all my effords in the practice; is all or nothing. I have to be responsable with my things in school and  spare my time between school, swimming practice, being with friends and family and some time for myself. I practice 6 days a week, if I want something I have to work hard don't I?

Success

Like I told you guys previously I had a event of open-water. This event was in Ponce and it was a complete success. I swam with my partner Kathia all the time. We finished the event in 50 minutes or so, but waves were furious. Last year the sea was more calm but this year it was all the opposite. I really liked the event plus I got to pent time with my best friend and my swimming teammates. Soon will start the competitions in short course. This weekend there was a little friendly competition in my pool but I couldn't compete because it is for the little kids. My competition will be in a couple of weeks. I have been working hard and going to practice almost everyday, so I hope to kill it. Because there is nothing more fulfilling that to know that you worked hard to get something you really wanted. Happy weekend and see ya' guys soon!

Tomorrow is the big day...

Tomorrow I'll be in this open-water event that will take place in Ponce representing my team. This will be my second event since summer break. This is the second time I participate in this event. In which I will have the company of my best friend and hope to meet with a couple of people from the area. Last year I was really nervous because it was my first time but everything turned out well. Mostly the event will have a duration of 40 to 45 minutes in which we have to start from an little island in the middle of the sea to the coast. The season will start soon so I have to prepare myself to get better at my personal records. I have been practicing very hard for all my events. So let's hope everything will be alright this year, see ya' soon!

Hey!

Here I will publish my swimming experiences as an athlete. But first let me tell you about my life as a swimmer. I have been swimming since I was 11 years thanks to my mother who was the one to register me in the classes. And still here I am going to the pool everyday from Monday to Friday every afternoon. I begin the competitions the same year I begin with the classes. I had succeeded by going step by step, working hard and making the right decision for best of my future. That's why I had to change team, this one is the best seriously, but sometimes we have to make difficult decisions for the best of our future. The practices are hard but at the end it worth the effort, so here I am preparing myself for the season. See ya'!
