I quit when I was 15 in order to play football, wrestle and run track in high school. I wanted to do other things, plus at that age being on the football team was a bigger deal socially than swimming.
Knowing what I know now, I probably would have stuck with swimming, but you really can't 2nd guess those things.
Learning to make your own decisions (and living with the consequences) is part of growing up.
