It Was Worth It

Getting up at four in the morning,
in the cold we all would sit.
The sets may have been long and dumb, but
it was all very much worth it.

Yard after yard my muscles hurt,
no amount of Advil could save it.
Every night dreading what would come next,
it was all very much worth it.

I may have complained to no end,
even when people didn't want to hear it.
People thought I was crazy but,
it was all very much worth it.

During those long and cold meets,
for those 500's we'd throw a fit.
The competition was tough, but
it was all very much worth it.

Traveling across the country,
wreaking havoc on whatever could stand it.
Breaking every rule in the book,
it was all very much worth it.

Picking on each other all practice long,
we would just let everyone have it.
Since we all knew how to make each other laugh,
it was all very much worth it.

We know each other better than our families,
my family, they are now a part of it.
Since I don't regret joining it at all,
it was all very much worth it.

The friendships I have made,
test of time, they will stand it.
I wouldn't trade the experience for anything, because
Swimming was all very much worth it.












Thanks for caring.
