On December 12th, 2015, I interviewed Coach Abi, a prestigious swim coach, on what makes a successful swimmer, what is important to remember throughout the negatives and positives of swimming, and what lessons or hardship are learned and overcome. She replied with some interesting insights, saying that passion to overcome the obstacles such as hard practices and body type both have an impact, that swimming isn’t about times but about trying your very best, and that swimming can teach you many lessons about almost anything in life.
