Have fun. Believe in yourself. Have big dreams.
But mostly have fun, because that's what swimming is supposed to be all about.

And here's a Barracuda original joke:
You know that you're a competitive swimmer when . . .

     . . . you think that getting up before the alarm clock rings is a "false start."

     . . . at the beginning of a test, you wait for the teacher to say "Take your mark--GO!"

     . . . all you can think about when you watch The Little Mermaid is whether Ariel's dolphin kick is good.

     . . . you make people think you're a spy sending a secret message when they hear you keep muttering to yourself "Fly back, breast free."

     . . . you try to clean your glasses by spitting on them and rubbing it in with your fingers.

     . . . you have a green streak up the middle of your hair, and you don't even have a cold!
