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 ;)

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

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

I never joined a swim team. Never had the option. I would have been terrible! Despite that, I'm a very successful swim teacher and have been doing it for 10 years. I teach anywhere from 6-month-olds to adults. And let me tell you, teaching adults really is a practice in creative thinking. It's quite hard to find the right words, the right techniques, to help them feel good about themselves and their progress. Recently I had to step back, tell one of my swimmer to stop trying so hard and just have fun. Now we're working on silly swimming, not form. She's not planning on joining any team. She just wants to be safe and comfortable if she gets invited to a pool party. So that's what we're doing.

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!

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

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

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 😊

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

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

Everyone in class 1-A talking when the teacher isn’t there Iida: raises hand

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

As someone who's on their sophomore year and doing swim team, I love this sm <33

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

I love how many anime characters she decided to just drop in this

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 😭😭

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

Illy's brain: how many references should I put in the vide- Illy: yes.

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
