Alysha at 10 years old

I was very cool

Looking back at my ten year old self makes me think about how dedicated I was to swimming and how nothing else mattered. When I was ten and still now I liked to focus on just one thing and that just so happened to be swimming. I trained up to four times a week before and after school. I remember getting late slips with my hair still drenched in chlorine and the teachers complaining that I didn’t show enough dedication to my school work, but that didn’t matter at all to me (which I know is bad). I now have given up swimming as it started to take over too much and I was falling behind in school work, I also had no experience in real team sports.
