How old were you when you started swimming competitively? (Or when you started other related water sport competitively; water polo, synchro, diving, open water swimming...).
I was 13 when I started swimming competitively... a late start, I know. But it's been great. Next year will be my 10th year (I'll be 22).
I did do water polo for a year and a half before competitive swimming, but those two sports are so different from one another it's hard to compare. Needless to say, my favourite part of water polo was the swim-off at the beginning of each quarter for the ball... I usually won the little sprint!

i started joined competitive swimming at 5 years old but didnt compete until i was 6. by 10 years old i broke ex-olympic swimmers 10 and under 100 m backstroke record and tied it for 12-13 years old. At 13 i was ranked top 2 in canada and came 2 nd in ontario also.
I was only 4 seconds of the olympic trial time
at 15 i had a shoulder injury which i didnt listen to the doctor. he said 5 months off,,, after 1 month i went back in and tore it severly. i ended up with two years off
This year, 17 years oold i started up again but after 2 months, i couldnt handle the pressure anymore!
so my dream of olympics is over
I swam for a good 11 years!

i was fourteen when i started competitively
i was in my last year of junior high and was playing football, and my coach and i got into a disagreement about my position and playing time heard an announcement on the school speakers for the swimteam and signed up, i joined mostly cause i thought id get to see chicks in their swimsuits all day but it turns out i was good at the sport and kept at it. Two years later i swim for my highschools varsity team and im the forerunner in my events
