Swimming is life
You pull yourself along
Choose your own lane
Kick when tired

You stress over the easy
And forget the hard
Focus on perfection
And leave the rest behind

Perform your best
When you don’t succeed you try, try again
Take the little tips into consideration
These might be the lessons of your life

When you fall behind in a race
You just need to pick up speed
The world keeps spinning round and round
Just like people swimming up and down
