About Me
Yo. I am a swimmer if you have not guessed from the blog. I live, eat, drink, and sleep swimming. OK maybe I do not drink it. Drinking pool water is kind of gross. Let me take a step back.
I am Quinn Salverson. I have three siblings all younger than me. They are the most annoying turds ever. Sometimes I wish I had none because then my life would be so peaceful. My mom and dad give me money to go out to the movies sometimes (which means never). Otherwise I am the big dog in high school because I am a senior now. Being a senior just means that you are one step closer to becoming an adult. I think I want to go back to grade school now. For the most part, my life is pretty normal or as normal as any person's life can be I guess. I love to eat, sleep, and eat (I know I put eat two times for a reason). I love watching Shark Tank, dreaming of becoming rich, and swimming (have you guessed yet?).

You are probably wondering why I started swimming. If not, don't worry I will tell you anyway. I was originally a basketball guy. I loved playing basketball. Then we moved to New York. New York was so much different then Illinois. Like where is the corn, man? Anyway, there was no basketball in middle school so my mom wanted me to do something. My sister and siblings were already swimming at the local YMCA. My mom pushed me to do swimming mainly because my siblings were swimming. And the fact that she would only have to drive to one place every night.
To say the least I enjoyed it enough to keep at it. Well if you call holding your breath for an hour enjoyable. I started swimming when I was about twelve. People consider that being a late bloomer. To say the least I was really slow to begin with and I am still slow now. OK maybe I have moved up to medium speed. I swam for the YMCA for call it three years. Maybe more because swim practice can feel like eternity. Then my family moved back to Illinois.

Guessed what I did when I moved back to Illinois? ..... You guessed it, swimming. My siblings and I have not quit swimming since we have got here. We swim for a local club team called the Dunlap Dolphins. Why I still swim I do not know but my body hurts after every practice.
You are probably wondering what competitive swimming is. If not good for you you deserve a cookie. Competitive swimming is what Micheal Phelps does. If you don't know who he is shame on you. A swimmer will swim back and forth across a pool for hours at a time. That is called swim practice. We do different strokes or swim different ways throughout practice. There is the butterfly, breaststroke, freestyle, and the backstroke. These are the different types of strokes. A swim meet is like a track meet you race people in different lanes and try to win. I mostly lose. Micheal Phelps wins. Competitive swimming is the most grueling sport out there.
