Winning a race will prove to myself and my teammates that I can come toe to toe, or in this case, finger to finger to my competitors. I plan to complete this goal by practicing as hard as I can during practice, as if every time I get in the water is a race. I will also practice outside of the pool by doing small things like riding my bike to school or doing a lap or two around the block. I will take small steps to become a better swimmer.

Completing this goal will help me become a much better student. It will also help me be less stressed when I am taking a
