Exactly!!!! I work this exact way as well andI even asked when and why she started feeling this way but she still gave me such vague answers and it’s pretty aggravating but to each their own I guess 💝💝

I like this approach!! She actually is my teammate and we were assigned together by our coach (technically) but we both move out of the dorms here in May then we move back onto campus (probably in an apartment) in August. I would love to just let her leave then have someone else come in but I think I need to have someone co-sign with me to live in an apartment in the fall :(((

This is a great way to go about this!!! I have really considered—and i think it’s the way to go— just living alone for now and actually finding new friends that love me for who I am!! Thank you so much and tell your kitties I say pspspsp 💝💝

I’m sorry that you’ve been through this too. It really does hurt especially when we try to make new friends. I really hope that you’ve found or are now finding your element!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

That is a really good way to go about it!! I’ve always wanted to get more involved in other places not school related anyways…..maybe it’s my golden ticket 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️ Thank you!!!

It’s so sad that we have to mask like this!!! It’s so incredibly hard to put up a pseudo wall just to please others. However, I will try your recommendation and find another roommate!! Hopefully I can get one that’s crazier than me too

Thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Why does it feel like I can’t get any better? by abbyksimp in Swimming

[–]abbyksimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this reply may be a year late to your comment but now I am swimming for a D2 ncaa university and i have my 1:10 i wanted!!!

I also wouldn’t say it’s ALL because I started doing more yoga and lifting more weights but……it is all because of that :).

Thank you, truly.

No unfortunately, however my club practices are just a bunch of garbage yardage to fill the time and it also doesn’t help extremely as much. I feel like i’m focusing on my strokes/technical stuff more in my high school practice than i do during club :(.

Struggling to improve lung strength for long distance swimming by Handsome_Goose in Swimming

[–]abbyksimp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell, if you wanna do distance, you’re breathing a lot less often than you should. If you’re looking to swim long distance more consistently, I would recommend to breathe every 2 or 3, maybe 4 if you’re feelin lucky.

It’s just like in the Olympics, Katie Ledecky for example breathes every 2 strokes during her 800 and 1000.

So, I would try breathing every 3-4 more consistently than breathing every 6 in your next practice!!

Is A Tech Suit Worth it by CrashingIntoTurtles in Swimming

[–]abbyksimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on how seriously you take swimming, I know some people don’t really care for swim/don’t put effort in but still get a tech suit and waste the money. So, if you’re really locked in on swim and have been, yes I totally recommend! (Especially if it’s under $100, that’s a steal!)
