Swimming

When a casual swimmer thinks of swimming, they may imagine doing lazy laps in the cool waters of the pool. But we think of years of dedication, discipline and perseverance, whether in trying to perfect our strokes, completing gruelling training sessions, or juggling training and studies. Swimming is all about discipline and challenging your limits. Your main goal in every training and race swimming is to keep pushing yourself ever harder. 

Yet, swimming is not just an individual sport. In the pool, we are competitors, but when the race is over, we are best friends. We encourage each other before the race, cheer as loudly as we can during the race, and congratulate each other after the race.

The RI swimming team is a family. Besides taking part in competitions together, monthly morning trainings allow us to form strong bonds as a team. The talent present in our team allows everyone to tap on one another’s knowledge of the sports. Despite our small team size, we have achieved excellent results in many competitions.
