“Let's start small. I'll try to swim once a month in 2016. That's up
from 0 times in 2015. Wait, not true, I was thrown out of the Atlantic
Ocean when that first hurricane came near Florida. Lifeguards weren't
too thrilled. So I'll try to swim 11 more times in 2016 than I did this
year.” - Eric Wunderlich
“My NYR (New Year’s Revolution) is to continue to live with less
clutter. One in, one out… something comes into my space, something of
equal or greater value that no longer serves me leaves. Keeps that
equilibrium! And, also, to finish my adult coloring book.” - Caroline Burckle
“My New Year’s resolutions are to always strive to stay healthy, take
care of myself and be a good role model for my kids. Also, continue to
provide opportunities for thousands of kids to learn how to swim and be
water safe.” - Lenny Krayzelburg
“My resolution for the New Year is to champion the swimmers and parents in the summer swimming community!” - Charlie Houchin
“I have been swimming with TBAY masters team in Tampa and I love it! It
helps keep me in shape, but more importantly, I feel like it reminds me
of how fortunate I am for the life lessons swimming has taught me...not
just the exercise part but the nutrition and everything else. Which
brings me to my New Year’s resolution of finding balance to eat and
exercise in a healthy and appropriate way for my lifestyle – not the
world-class-athlete way anymore – now that I'm a ‘swammer’ (past
tense).” - Chelsea Nauta Colwill
“Remove Facebook from my smart phone, only checking in on my laptop.” - Gary Hall Jr.
“My New Year’s resolution is to work on getting more sleep. Being a busy
college student-athlete, I struggle to sleep enough every night. So in
2016, I really would like to be able to get the recommended 8 hours of
sleep more often.” - Courtney Bartholomew
“Get back in the pool more! Post-swimming careers can create lots of
time and travel constraints, but it's important to maintain a healthy
lifestyle.” - Tyler Harris
“My resolution this year is to take each day, each practice one at a
time. Don't get caught up in what the future may bring, but instead,
just focus on today.” - Rachel Bootsma
“I have a couple of resolutions this year. I want to get more toned over
the next few months. I also want to volunteer more or give back in some
way. I just need to find the right organization.” - Lindsay Vrooman
“My resolution this year is to pay attention to the fine details with
everything, not just swimming but with everything I do. I think it's so
important to remember the small things to succeed both in swimming and
life.” - Arthur Frayler
“My resolutions are the stuff of norm: 1. Exercise more consistently
(including adding in some swimming); 2. Eat a little better; and 3. Do
more out-of-the-house activities with the family.” - Jeff Rouse
“My resolution for 2016 is to journal every day. Typically in the
morning, I'll write down three things I'm grateful for and my intention
for the day, and at the end of the day, I write down three amazing
things that happened that day.” - Ariana Kukors
“I am not one for New Year's resolutions, but I am excited for 2016!
Here are some of the things I am looking forward to this year: 1. We are
welcoming a new baby into our family in May. A new baby is always an
adventure, and I am really excited; 2. The Olympics coming this summer! I
wish all those preparing and competing the best! My house is cheering
for you! Go team USA; and 3. Another year working with student-athletes
broadening identity development and leadership skills. I love my job at
the University of Arizona and believe in the impact of player
development.” - Lacey Nymeyer-John
“To always stay positive.” - Gil Stovall
“My new year's resolution is to be open to the new experiences and
challenges in front of me and to learn and grow as much as possible. Oh
and to not always take myself quite so seriously!” - Misty Hyman
“My resolution for 2016 is really more of a mantra: To live in the
moment and cultivate appreciation for my friends and family.... Also to
eat more vegetables! I just love bacon. So much.” - Kim Vandenberg
“For 2016, I resolve to build and strengthen meaningful relationships
with my teammates and loved ones. I realize this is an important year
for my swimming career, and I want to keep touch with the people in my
life who matter most to me.” - Michael Chadwick
“I'm focusing on three resolutions this year: (1) enjoy the present.
It seems like the past several years have flown by, so I really want to
soak it all in and live in the moment; (2) travel more. I recently moved
to Massachusetts and am looking forward to exploring the East Coast. I
also want to travel internationally, particularly to Japan; (3) conquer a
5.11 and V5. I've gotten really into rock climbing and those grades are
next on my to-do list.” - Sara Nicponski
“My New Year’s resolution is to not sweat the small stuff and to live more in the moment and enjoy the little things.” - Sarah Henry
"My New Year's resolution for 2016 is to procrastinate less.
Specifically, I am going to set deadlines for a couple of projects that I
have put on the back burner." - Adam Ritter
Whether your New Years resolutions include finishing that new adult coloring book you received, or simply just to stay positive - we believe in you!
