I swim for a club. I belong to this group because I have incorporated myself into its society. There is a 'hierarchy' that is based off of which group you are in (and those groups are based off of how good you are), and I am somewhere in the middle. In the swim team, you have to be a good sport, not cheat, and not bully anyone else. My role is the same as everyone else's: a competitor, and a friend. We respect eachother, while pushing ourselves furthur when we compete against eachother. We all have to try are hardest and do our best in every practice and competition. We have to keep our pool clean, and we have to respect the premises. The swim team is a major part in my life, as I have been swimming for 6 years. When I feel really angry, or stressed, putting all my effort into swimming helps. Swimming is an 'anchor' in my life, and the adrenaline rush I get while swimming is something I focus on when I feel really out of place.
