Tough desicion to make....:(

[otispunkmeyer]

im a swimmer, ive swam since i was 6, and im currently on the uni swim team.

despite initial thoughts, the swimming is eating up alot more time than i thought. early morning training requires i loose 2 hours on a night so i can get enough sleep to feel good in the morning

gym sessions on the night completely whack me out and training on saturdays pretty much takes up the best part of a day once ive had a deserved sleep in

i have to say im pretty average compared to the other guys i swim with...im not gonna be an olympian or anything. but i do enjoy working like a trooper in the pool

the course i do at uni is a Masters in Mechanical engineering, im in my second year, and theres a stack load of work to do.

i have 9 till 5 lectures every day, and basically 3 days of my week end up being 4:30am till 9:30-10:00pm

im quickly feeling that ive got more work than time to do it, and im feeling like im gonna burn out real quick if i keep going

i love swimming, ive done it since i was 6....competed since i was 10. but i dont want to mess my education up either

i know the simple solution is to give up swimming.....but im afraid ill miss it too much.

what should i do.

How long until your lecture schedule relaxes? Can you keep at it until you're done with school?

Cut out the ATOT and you'll find that you'll have more time in your day than you ever thought before. 🙂

Just swim on your own?
