@oceansaric: Swim burnout is real, and it’s more common than you think. Swimmers don’t quit because they’re weak. They quit because they’re exhausted, unheard, or overwhelmed. Let’s talk about it. 🏊♂️💙 #swimcoach #swimming #burnout #relatable #coachocean
I feel like swim burnout is impacting my whole life. I don’t feel motivation to do anything that I enjoy. I feel terrible doing everything that I like and I feel like it’s all from the pressure of swimming. Im too scared to take a break because I keep getting told I’m almost at my goal and don’t wanna disappoint my coach or my parents or teammates. I want to quit but I don’t know I can anymore.

I want and I have a love hate relationship with my swim sets. Sometimes they are too hard for me and I ask my coach for break which they do give me. Since I am in a pretty advanced lane and I have been training for 1 year compared to others in my lane who have been doing it longer than me. I always look at my friends and school who can wake up as late as they want because they don’t have morning practices on weekends, I know it’s unhealthy to do that but I want that teenage experience to sleep late and wake up late, you know? Do you have any tips?

Everyone is always saying how good I am and refusing to let me quit. I’m not allowed to skip practice or meets, I’m not allowed to stop, I’m not allowed to prioritize sleep because it’s “lazy.” When I’m sore it’s always “you’re growing muscles!” and “oh tough it out.” It’s only ruining swim for me

It’s a terrible feeling tbh. I’m having a really bad burnout rn😭 I’ve had so so good results, always achieving my goals, but for the last year or so my time has gotten much worse. Due to this I tend to skip practises, but I don’t feel like it’s making a difference. And sometimes thoughts about becoming the better version of myself flash in my mind, but once I get up to train and be a better athlete, all that motivation always disappears☹️what do I doooo?🥲

Me and my friend made a pact to both make state and he made state for swimming and diving and I’m like 5 or 10 seconds away from state on everything and I can’t break it
