Hey Everyone, I wanted to get some other swimmers inputs. I am currently a freshman in college and have been swimming year round since I was nine. I lived and breathed swimming all through high school and it was my life. Never did I think that I would quit swimming after my freshman year of college. I know longer love swimming and I can't continue to keep doing it. I will be giving up my scholarship next year AND will be transferring to school closer to home. I guess what I want to know is and I making one of the worst decisions of my life. I don't want to continue to do this but what if I miss it or I am miserable. I have my conference meet in three weeks and want to go out on a bang, just like everyone does when they are giving up something they love to do. My question is how do I get through this last three weeks and enjoy it and go out on a bang and what is your guys opinion on my decision to hang up swimming. I would love any opinions or feedback.

Thanks for the insight. It has me thinking more already even though I have been thinking a lot about this for a few months now. It is a hard decision and like many of you said, i will regret it many years down the road. Its hard but swimming has never come easy for me I was one of those people who always busted there butt, and never saw results in meets. I haven't really improved in about 4 years now and it gets harder all the time. I can't keep forcing myself to do something I don't enjoy or can I. Thanks for the input and if you have any more advice I would love it. Thanks
