Just a hobby ?

I know I write about swim team a lot, but it really is my passion. Swimming is my life, it has consumed my heart, mind, and soul. My mom even says my natural scent is chlorine. I love the water, because it accepts me for who I am. No matter how many time I kick and punch at it, it just welcomes me back with open arms. Now some people may say swim is 'easy' and is 'just something you instinctively do before you drown,' but it is SO much more than that ! Swimmers flip more then gymnasts, go more yards then any runner, and kick harder then a kick-boxer. Swim also gives me the biggest rush ever, 0.14 seconds could literally be the difference between 1st and 5th place ! So the real question is swim just a hobby ? No, it is a life style.
