as a highschool newbie swimmer on the swim team who has been struggling with starts and flip turns youve motivated me a lot to keep on pushing and trying . thank you!!!
As a USA Swimmer, I must say: I'm very proud of you! Swimming takes a lot of time and breath, and despite Asthma, you did AWESOME! Never give up Illy! You can do anything!
YESSS BRO In the beginning I've only ever done 50's but this one swim meet out of nowhere my coach puts me in a 100 and I was so nervous but I did it!!!
yea lol i am in 9th grade and i already have been swimming for a year and went to try out high school swim. my best for 50 free SCY is 24.37 and my 100 is 55.05 which are my best events. for one meet my couch put me in a 200 free and i never swam that for a meet before lol. i got like 2:10:05 for my time which is ok for my first time doing it and it was not has bad but i had no idea what strat i was going to do for each part of the 50 really lol
As a competitive swimmer who started at eight years old, it’s super wholesome to see someone start later in life and still feel happy and welcome. Swim environments can become very uncomfortable when people are super competitive, so I love seeing you enjoy it so much! I think a good swim team can be an amazing opportunity and experience.
As another competitive swimmer since I was 7, it is super nice that she had a supportive team. A lot of teams that have super fast swimmers tend to forget about the average swimmers and make them feel like they don’t belong even though they are completely deserving of being on the team.
@@phthalio193 god I remember swimming in the slow lane, that sucked so bad. I remember the only reason I did good was because everyone in my lane was a total asshole who didn’t tap my foot before passing and they always went in front of me when I was faster :/ I won out of pure spite I still spite them btw they’re still rude assholes, maybe they were jealous of me but they didn’t need to act out on that.
I mean there are other reasons to skip practice, such as (if you're female) time of the month if it gets bad enough, doctors appointments, family emergencies, etc
I love how she got abused, bullied and struggles with asthma, but has never given up! She's so strong, and gives me so much motivation! illymation, keep going, you're amazing!
this came at the right time in my life, tried out for track absolutely didn't meet my expectations and was so embarrassed i wanted to die, BUT after hearing this story it made me feel so much better i used to watch you when i was younger and still do from time to time but this made me love you even more tysm ☹.
This is really inspiring, since recently i started highschool and i only learnt how to swim in the holidays and that was just dog paddles. With extra swim lessons on Tuesdays and 2 lessons of swimming in PE a week in term 3 i really hope i improve ALOT i already did. Thanks so much i am definitely subscribing
Reminded me of my first 500 free I just kept up with the girl next to me and boom my first try ever and I qualified for metros swimming (end of the season big competition you have to have a low enough time to even go) I can't swim this year due to coronavirus 😭 my senior year rip
omg long distance with asthma? UR SO STRONG OMGGG. i also love ur teammates ! i love ur story, it encouraged me to keep trying, bc i just started competitive and its not rlly going well. Thanks.
Swimming is absolutely an amazing sport. I did varsity in both High School and College, and was at a division 1 school ACC. I was a distance swimmer too so I did stuff upwards of 1500 meter race, and 200 yard fly and 400 IM. What is so interesting about this is I had massive panic attacks around halfway through my high school swimming career. It was wild because I had to relearn why I liked swimming after 12 years with a specific goal in mind, to swim fast and drop time. I think it's super important to learn to not only not give up when it seems hard but also not give up when the situation changes or you change, because you can also learn so much more about what is important to you as a person rather than important to the people around you. I loved watching this a lot, it really warmed my little fish heart haha
I do swim team too and before like every event I feel like I have to peel or I feel like I am going to get sick and I’m missing my leg soo I have trouble kicking and stuff but I still do amazing at it
As a student- swimmer I understand your pain, coming home from swim,crying cause I’m not fast enough, and then going back the next day suddenly feeling great. I also love the Noya and Tanaka references, I would love to swim with them one day if they actually did that sport lmao.
Ngl your videos like this are such an inspiration. At uni in my third year my friend was like ‘you should join water polo’ and I was like ‘sure okay’. I worry about not being good at sport but hearing your story’s about having lovely teammates helped ease my nerves and I’m really glad I went. Really enjoying it 😁
Hey Illy. This really helped my confidence with my new job. I feel like I'm not doing as well as my boss would like. This really really helped. Thank you
Relatable! Trying to practice doubly hard over 8th grade so I can even think about making the team in high school. I didn't expect Illy to make a video about this topic, but this was quite informational since she had acknowledged what swim team life is like. I'm not that good at the sport like she had said, but she showed how keeping on going and not giving up was the key to progressing and being part of the team. PS: Love the millions of references! (even though I've only watched Haikyuu :( ) PPS: Keep going and dream on!
@Jordan Saldanha yeah, swimming for fun and recreation is very easy, but when you get to swim team, it’s no joke. Just watch some of the Olympic swim, it’s crazy!
my mom went to college to become a licensed swim teacher. lucky, my parents could afford an in-ground swimming pool! so my mom does swimming lessons in the summer, basically ALL SUMMER. personally, I’m average at swimming. I only did competitive swimming when I was 6 and 7, but then practices got moved to 5am three times a week (before school) in an outdoor public swimming pool (which was always dirty and freezing) :( so, I quit and I haven’t done it every since. although I kinda want to join again....
I love how many references there are but the one that genuinely saddened me was the ‘swim theory’ one because mattpatt retired recently and I bet a lot of people are sad bout that- but anyways, I love your content! Illy you are amazing ❤ keep it up 👍 😊
I'm really surprised how much I can relate to this video! I'm currently a sophomore in hs and this is my 2nd year on my hs swim team. The first year.... I wasn't very good. In fact, I mostly got last place. The events I would normally swim included the 200 free relay and 100 breaststroke. This year... I felt a little stronger. Even though I was one of the shortest people on my team, I did my best in practice. Although I got last place still, there were a few memorable moments of my sophomore swim team experience. My coach signed me up for the 500 free! I remember being so scared and getting ~9 minutes, but I was proud I survived. I also remember when my coach signed me up for the 200 IM. That scared me even more cuz I didn't even know how to do the transition turns (ex. Fly to back). Luckily, my friend taught me during warm up and I was really grateful. :) One of my favorite memories was when my team (15 people) TIED with the best team in our district (they had 40+ swimmers and NO losses). It just goes to show that size doesn't matter - it's the courage and determination you and your team has. I have league meet in 3 days. This video and my experiences have me fired up >:)
As a long time swimmer since 7 years old, this actually made me really happy and excited to start the new swim season! I remember all of my past struggles with diving, flip-turning, breathing, an streamline. To anyone that is interested in swimming, go ahead and try it out! I hope you love it as much as I do and never give up!
The beginning: Illy: talking Me, mha fan: all might?!? Ya know there’s also a class full of the characters of mha I’m going insane with these references
I got obsessed with Persona 5 half a year ago and just got Persona 3 two days ago. I heard about joining the swim team and I was like "wait wasn't this the game that inspired that one illy video??" and now my mind is blown
As a competitive swimmer, I was raised in a very "swimming" household. For someone who was completely new to the sport, 2nd place is amazing for you. Great job Illy!
You forgot the unquote the sitation the page/video number. You also don’t do a period, you have to do a comma before the sitation and then a period afterwards. Also you forgot to end the statement with a period.
I saw this video and it influenced me to join my towns swim team in the summer. I'm 11 and I've now been swimming for 2 years. I can do all 4 strokes and a 50 free in under a minute. None of that would be possible without this very video. I have found it so fun I am currently joining a year round swim team. I just wanted to thank you for my swim obsession and you are truly an inspiration.
since illy is making tons of anime references lately, can we see a vid dedicated to reviewing all the anime she's watched, and what her favorites and lest favorites are? i think it would be hilarious to see what she watched so far, and maybe it would be fun get give her recommendations too. ❤
@@linmanuelmiranda7100 but it’s not- deku is making an almight impression, because he wants to impress nighteye. And you asked, so I had no idea you had watched the anime. I was trying to help so why are you favepalming? I’m not stupid, just confused
I never joined a swim team. Never had the option. I would have been terrible! Despite that, I'm a very successful swim teacher and have been doing it for 10 years. I teach anywhere from 6-month-olds to adults. And let me tell you, teaching adults really is a practice in creative thinking. It's quite hard to find the right words, the right techniques, to help them feel good about themselves and their progress. Recently I had to step back, tell one of my swimmer to stop trying so hard and just have fun. Now we're working on silly swimming, not form. She's not planning on joining any team. She just wants to be safe and comfortable if she gets invited to a pool party. So that's what we're doing.
8:49 that feeling is so real when i won my first race i had no idea what was going on but my whole team was screaming for me and i realized i was first, its really a good feeling.
Girl I felt the same throughout swimming. You’ve helped me through some though times like being bullied and middle school puberty. I just want to say thank you soo much!
Illy: Dude, coach Jackson couldn't fix this, are you sure? Dude: Yeah dude, of course! What are teammates for? Illy's head: THOU ART I... AND I AM THOU...

As a swimmer myself, unless you're injured, sick, or dying, you should NEVER miss practice. One day missed in swim means a week of recovery in my case

This year... I felt a little stronger. Even though I was one of the shortest people on my team, I did my best in practice. Although I got last place still, there were a few memorable moments of my sophomore swim team experience.
My coach signed me up for the 500 free! I remember being so scared and getting ~9 minutes, but I was proud I survived. I also remember when my coach signed me up for the 200 IM. That scared me even more cuz I didn't even know how to do the transition turns (ex. Fly to back). Luckily, my friend taught me during warm up and I was really grateful. :)
One of my favorite memories was when my team (15 people) TIED with the best team in our district (they had 40+ swimmers and NO losses). It just goes to show that size doesn't matter - it's the courage and determination you and your team has.
I have league meet in 3 days. This video and my experiences have me fired up >:)
Illy: how many references do you want?
Also illy: yes

As a long time swimmer since 7 years old, this actually made me really happy and excited to start the new swim season! I remember all of my past struggles with diving, flip-turning, breathing, an streamline. To anyone that is interested in swimming, go ahead and try it out! I hope you love it as much as I do and never give up!

I got obsessed with Persona 5 half a year ago and just got Persona 3 two days ago. I heard about joining the swim team and I was like "wait wasn't this the game that inspired that one illy video??" and now my mind is blown

As a competitive swimmer, I was raised in a very "swimming" household. For someone who was completely new to the sport, 2nd place is amazing for you. Great job Illy!
absolutely! after 10 years of swimming I only got one 1st place, so a second place that soon is amazing!
Yeah, I was also raised in that kind of household where swim was highly encouraged to be learned by my parents
I'm so glad I wasn't... don't get me wrong I love swimming, but I don't like competing, or being put in extremely stressful situations.
Relatable.
yea i am a fast competitve swimmer but swimming is super comptitive and 2nd place is good
Her animation has really improved over time.
My first meet was awesome I got in the 50 free. I hesitated on my dive but it was so good that it boosted me ahead almost everyone! I got 2nd!

I saw this video and it influenced me to join my towns swim team in the summer. I'm 11 and I've now been swimming for 2 years. I can do all 4 strokes and a 50 free in under a minute. None of that would be possible without this very video. I have found it so fun I am currently joining a year round swim team. I just wanted to thank you for my swim obsession and you are truly an inspiration.
thats awesome!! best of luck to you!!

Cool! When I was 11 I attempted the 500 free
My 50 free is down to a 32-31 I’m working hard to get states! I’m sure your doing great too!
I’m on a swim team and I’m one of the best swimmers in my state. I love seeing my favorite RUclipsrs talk about their swim story’s.
since illy is making tons of anime references lately, can we see a vid dedicated to reviewing all the anime she's watched, and what her favorites and lest favorites are? i think it would be hilarious to see what she watched so far, and maybe it would be fun get give her recommendations too. ❤
Yeah we need this
She doesn’t watch much anime, it’s the person that does the backgrounds that puts all the references in
Tbh my fav is My hero Academia my least fav is Naruto. DONT JUDGE MEH I WATCHED LIKE 3 EP AND HATED IT-

I feel you
I never joined a swim team. Never had the option. I would have been terrible! Despite that, I'm a very successful swim teacher and have been doing it for 10 years. I teach anywhere from 6-month-olds to adults. And let me tell you, teaching adults really is a practice in creative thinking. It's quite hard to find the right words, the right techniques, to help them feel good about themselves and their progress. Recently I had to step back, tell one of my swimmer to stop trying so hard and just have fun. Now we're working on silly swimming, not form. She's not planning on joining any team. She just wants to be safe and comfortable if she gets invited to a pool party. So that's what we're doing.
i love how she sprinkles in anime characters as classmates, posters, plushies, or anything
Yes
Yaaaaaaaaasssssss queeeeeeeeeeeeen

8:49 that feeling is so real when i won my first race i had no idea what was going on but my whole team was screaming for me and i realized i was first, its really a good feeling.
