The only problem Mr. Fly seems to have is with spelling and grammar. But perhaps with more swimming rather than a dose of ritalin, everything will turn out just fine.
On a more serious note, how about using every ounce of your non-class time hitting the books? Try to have all your class work done for the next day before getting into the pool. When your lunch is eaten, don't sit around. Get up and run, yes run, to a quiet spot in the library. Ask for help from your teachers. If you don't get it right, let them know. The only thing wrong in not understanding is in not asking for assistance. There's no such thing as a silly question.
P.S. Athletes are usually ranked highest in their class than their non-athlete counterparts.
