I stopped swimming at my freshman year of college. I am a sophmore in college now. I quit swimming because I hadnt improved on my times in years, was a very mental swimmer and just couldnt handle the stress of it.. I know i stll couldnt handle those things. But my point is I miss swimming like crazy. My life seems so differnt and incomplete without it and I dont know how to react to this. I miss being part of a team and in the best shape of my life and all those wonderful things the sport of swimming has to offer. I feel like i have no point in going to school anymore, when i was in high school i always wanted to go to college because of swimming and now that its gone i am so lost. I still know I would not be completly happy with my choice if i was swimming, but would it be better to have that extra stress then to feel like something that is such a big part of me is missing....
help please

My suggestion is that if you don't want the stress of a college team, but want to still swim competitively, find a club team or find a Master's Swim Team that you can join. Best of luck!
