7 Habits of Fitness Swimmers（含译文）

小臭贝

by Linda Shoenberger
1.         Regularity – Fitness swimmers feel good about themselves when they swim on a regular basis.  Missing practice makes us feel   uncomfortable, like something is missing in our lives.  Having a coach and regular time of practice is the best way for us to remain fit.  But if that’s not possible, we always make time to get to the pool or open water to train.
2.         Curiosity – We like to learn more and more about swimming.  If a coach tells us to change something in our strokes, we are happy to try the change to see if it works for us.  We’re always curious to find ways to improve our fitness swimming.
3.         Change – We’re not afraid of change.  In fact we are risk-takers at heart.  We will gladly change our stroke if it proves to make our fitness swimming better and more enjoyable.
4.         Challenge – We love a challenge.  Entering an open water event or trying a new event at a pool swim meet makes us happy.  Interest in the ever-changing nature of our abilities as fitness swimmers is stimulated by trying new things.
5.         Listen and Learn – We are not afraid to listen to others when they offer suggestions to improve our fitness swimming.  We learn by listening and cull out the suggestions that we feel help us enjoy and improve at fitness swimming.
6.         Study – Reading swim articles, watching videos and watching others swim helps us learn more about our own swimming.  We are always looking to see what is changing or what we may have never learned our sport.
7.         Persistence – We never give up.  Nor do we ever get tired of going to the pool, lake or ocean.  It’s in our nature.  It makes us happy and joyful about life.  It brings is closer to the people around us and it gives us a great deal of satisfaction in a job well done.

2、好奇心—我们喜欢学到更多关于游泳的知识和技术。如果一个教练让我们纠正泳姿里的某些小细节，我们会很乐意地去改变，去看是否真的有用，真的能让我们游的更好。我们常常很好奇的去找各种不同的方式来提高我们的泳技。
3、改变—我们不害怕改变。实际上我们是敢于冒险的人。如果那些改变被证明真的能提高我们的泳技并且让我们更享受有用，我们很乐意纠正我们的技术。
4、挑战—我们喜欢挑战。加入公开水域的游泳比赛或者尝试一些新的泳池的比赛让我们感到很开心。作为以健身为目的的游泳爱好者，我们有兴趣一直去改变，我们也很喜欢尝试新的事物来激励自己。
5、听和学—我们很乐意接受别人对提高我们泳技的建议。我们通过听取建议和挑选我们觉得能够提高我们泳技建议进行学习。
6、学习—阅读关于游泳的文章，看游泳视频，并且观看别人游泳，从中提取一些好的方面来学习更多的游泳知识，并且提高自己的泳技。我们一直在关注什么改变了，或者那些知识我们还从来不知道的。
