    I've been swimming for 6 years and was coached by the Olympian Stephanie leclair from the Canadian team. :) very proud :P I believe this sport is so under appreciated and no one understands just how hard it is. This video can give you a small insight into what it's like, but until you actually do it you won't understand. Posting this on Facebook? Indeed ;)
