i used to swim.. 2 years ago i think.. i loved it, i was at it for a large chunk of my life. i was a backstroker, damn good at it, too. problem is, a year or two after i finally started making *huge* improvements in my backstroke, we had problems with our coach and he ended up having to resign. after a year of going through 3 horrible coaches, my backstroke just wasn't what it could have been
. plus, the friends i had in the club that pushed me hard ended up quitting and i wasn't getting the push i needed. that coupled with a newfound social life, and i lost interest. i hope i go back someday, i don't have enough time now, with school and all.. but i loved being able to push myself until i could barely climb out of the water after my races. 200m back was my specialty
.. and i was pretty decent at 200m free, 400m free, and 1500m free...
