I began swimming since I was four and became a competitive swimmer. At age 12 I became an endurance swimmer and did very well in regional and national meets. I had a great team, and really enjoyed being with my friends even though most of them were older than me. The time came when they retired to go to college or do other things, and though I stayed in the team along with some other teammates, I realized things weren't really the same. I stopped swimming competitively last year because I had rearranged my priorities and started focusing more in other things such as school. Now, I can't believe I spent so much time and effort in swimming, because I feel I was somehow missing many other things. However, I'm glad I did what I did and have no regrets. I often wonder what would it be like if I go back, and think that even though I could still swim well, I'd never really enjoy it as much because many of my old friends have gone or have changed too. Has any one ever felt the same?
