| I am good. But I can be a lot better. And yes, I do swim for my high school team. And dive. so I might need to give up diving soon if I want to pursue the Olympics.

| are you good? you must be good if someone had asked you that. join your school swim team if you're not already on it and just swim as much as you can.

| I think it is awesome that you can remember that goal that you made, and you are still interested in making it happen. I give you kudos!!!! I'm not exactly sure what you would need to do, but I think it's awesome that you are willing to try! =]

When I was talking to friend earlier, I was asked a funny question: "Are you going to the Olympics for swimming?" As in Competing. I laughed at the idea cause there is no way that I could ever qualify for the USA swim team. But then I remembered something a goal that I made myself back when I was in 3rd grade. I wanted to be an Olympic swimmer.
Is this even possible? What would qualify me for the 2012 Olympics? Is there any summer training camps that I could go to or start? How does this whole process work? I only started swimming last year, and I'm pretty good (fastest time was 31.12 for 50 meters (ok, that might suck to others, but still), but I can get it to a 29. something in a few weeks if I push myself. maybe even lower.) What can I do (besides swim for my school team as normal) that can make me that much closer to my Olympic goal? Or am I too late?
Please let me know what you think.
Its a wild card, most likely (and a long shot), and extremely competitive. But I would really like to know.
