Are Swimmers THAT popular in your school?

in my high school, they aren't any more popular than the other athletes...the most we do is if they win a meet, we just gratz them...and no one would be caring who's popular...

The idea of that drill probably originated at Texas.  They have an outstanding swim program. Eddie Reese is a top coach.

All I would say.  You are so posed to be exactly alike in your moves.  What every body part the other swimmer has you must have that too.  lol\nIt helps if you can float also.

well, i believe that talent takes only a small part in becoming really good at a sport. Sure, Micheal Phelps has a predisposition to be a really good swimmer because of the way he is built (really long arms, strong upper-body, large hands), but i don't think that its all that. Anyone can become really good at a sport if they work hard and long enough. they may have to work harder to become better in their techniques than people that may have "talent," but i'm positive that it is possible.

I just recently graduated..... is it popular? I don't know.\nAnyhow, here's the classes.\nThe "losers"/rejects, the goths, the rednecks, smart kids/geeks, band kids, sports stars and their girlfriends, the druggies (which also fit in the last category), skaters and the tough kids.\nI was a highschool band geek and smart kid. Smart kids had a higher social standing (barely) to the banders, bc they could actually be of profit to other social classes.\nI wouldn't change, all my best friends are in my "class" and most people liked me.

my friend goes running and swimming and hes losing his...but run long distances and swim laps instead of just playing around...front crawl (freestyle) and back crawl (backstroke) and definitely breast stroke are probably the best swimming methods

being a swimmer helps. Girls dig guy swimmers and guys dig girl swimmers. Face however is more important then body for most guys

It is usually good coaching that makes a good swimming club. A coach (or coaches) that are dedicated to the sport and their members.\nOther factors that make a swim club a good one is a clean, safe facility, one that gives swimmers teh opportunity to participate in a lot of meets, and one with positive, supportive, families as memebers.

Why do you enjoy swimming more than other sports?\nHow do you feel when you swim?  When you compete?\nTalk about these things.

It' awesome!  I was a swimmer and swam butterfly.  It's a great event because most people don't like swimming it.  Work hard and you will blow them away.  And next time you have a meet, walk up to the blocks and say something outloud like "I love this stroke".  People will think your crazy and it's usually a good but nice psych out technique

You definately want to be able to do a background check on them and get references and ask if they are willing to get certified in cpr and first aid or coaches safety training.  You want to ask them about their coaching philosophy and about the type of environment they want to have on the team.  From this question you can see if they will fit with what you want the team to be.  Some swim coaches are very serious, no games, hard practices, all about performance, even in rec leagues, and some coaches see rec leagues as being about the swimmers experience and having it be fun for everyone and giving everyone the chance to swim everything, etc.  You also might want to ask them if they are willing to get into the water in order to help teach beginners on the team.  Also, ask how they do meet entries.  Is it about letting everyone try everything, or will the fastest kids get the most events and the slowest kids get fewer entries with whatever is leftover?  Finally, I'd give them a couple situations and ask how they'd deal with it.  For example, a parent being upset with their kids meet entries, two swimmers verbally or physically fighting at practice, or a parent comes to the coach with concerns that their child is being made fun of or picked on at practice because of their weight or skills.  It is most important to make sure the coach has a coaching philosophy that matches what you want for the team, and that the coach is able to deal with both the parents and swimmers in a manner that you agree with, because that is where most of the problems come from with age-group swim coaches.

swimming is not a sport you want to be doing if you dont like it, specially when you are getting into competition and had training..\n\nI knew this guy who loved swimming more than anything, but was reaaaally slow in highschool, like reaally slow. But he enjoyed it so much that he kept swimming. His senior year droped 40 seconds in his 500 and now he is the best in the country, triple NCAA champion.. moral of the story? if you love to swim, swim.. and dont worry about times in highschool\n\nif you just want something to do in the afternoon maybe you should think of other sports
