Need help with this predicament.
Am currently 15 (About to be 16). Have been swimming competively since about 6. The problem is, after moving from my U.S.S. team (my mother's decision) my swimming has not improved. (Well it has, but not very much). I long to be the great swimmer I should be at this age. The Olympics are coming, and it makes me sad knowing that had I done my best and worked hard, it could be me there, (or in several years). I'm trying to get back into swimming and hopefully join a USMS team after I am too old for the Village teams.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or tips? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Also please note my mom is wary to spend too much money because she feels I am not committed enough. (Truthfully I am responsible for that thinking).

Oh yeah, one more important thing. Be prepared if she says no, to accept her decision, and under no circumstances get angry or yell. That kind of negative behavior will set you back. Drop the subject completely for the time being, but continue to show her how much you are maturing and ask again in another couple of months.
