What I learned on highschool swim

Make sure to check out my team in my description! Ingrid in particular is the one who works all those awesome anime references into the videos, and she loves seeing y'alls comments finding all the anime characters ;)

Imagine actually participating in extracurricular activities for school 😬 could never be me

No one Todoroki writing in the corner of the class: I hate my dad.

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

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!

"so how many references do you want" Illy: yes

ALL MY HOMIES HATE FLIP TURNS

When I was in middle school I joined my school’s cross country team, and as someone who couldn’t finish a mile in 12 minutes, that was a daunting task. I struggled so much during my first year, and I was pretty bad through most of it, literally tripped over my own feet constantly, but I was determined to keep pushing myself and avoid walking as much as I possibly could. At the end of my season, my coach was super proud of me and told me I was the most improved that year. Trying really hard and improving is a good feeling 😊

I watch this video every time I have a swim meet, and it always makes me feel less anxious about it.:)

You know I'd like to think that you were on the swim team with class 1A

Illy: "I'm not really into Anime" Also Illy: That's a better redemption arc than Endeavor's-

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!!!

i still do swimming to this day, and i absolutely hate swim meets, diving off the blocks, and dryland. ESPECIALLY swim meets. all the noise disorients me and i don't like the pressure of winning for my team. even after years, i still hate all these 😭😭

This felt like an anime redemption arc and I'm all here for it 💪💪💪

This literally sounds like the plot to an anime except there’d be like a super mean bully or something

I had this crazy but awesome old vietnam vet swim coach in highschool and he really pulled the effort out of us, we were the only public school to make it to State and we actually won it. He would make our "warmups" super hard to intimidate the other teams lol

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

"Don't breathe underwater" Instructions misunderstood. I'm now 100% water.

How many anime references de you want? Ily: YES!!!!! AND NOT ONLY ANIME ONES

9:25 this really motivated me. i don’t do swim, but i just started volleyball and i’ve been really insecure, especially about serving. thanks, illy. i’m glad i decided to binge all your videos for the 2956255th time 💀
