Remember your successes rather than solely your failures!
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” – Goethe

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.” – Aristotle
Reaching a goal is something you have to work towards. Practicing and being patient with yourself are the best ways to do so. Practice makes perfect and a habit is not inherent. Developing your habits takes time. For example, perfecting your arm movement for a clean stroke or developing your breathing technique to float takes time.
“There is no substitute for hard work.” – Thomas Edison
Sports are hard work and swimming is no exception to this. It is a life skill that everyone should learn to stay safe in the water. Learning how to swim takes time, dedication and perseverance. With some hard work, anyone can learn how to become a master swimmer!
