When I swam

When I swam

Rubie Gibson, Reporter

I was on the Corry YMCA swim team for five-six years. Then, I just wanted to try something different, so I joined JV basketball. When I swam I enjoyed every meet and every practice. Swimming was my world for a while, but then I got tired of it. I still love swimming to this day.

I am thinking about doing it again in the future. I would go home every day from practice and wish one day I would make it to districts. I was .5 seconds away, but I have faith that one day I will make it. Probably my favorite part of swim was championships. I loved them a lot.

I especially loved all the memories with the girls. The funny thing is ,when I first joined swim I wasn’t so sure about it because I didn’t have any practice and I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but the next few months were life changing. Swim helped me a lot with my depression and ADHD. It was one of the only places I felt free, and now I have basketball.
