I had an injury in a game of football a few weeks ago that could never allow me to play again depending on what they find in my knee(what type of cartilage tears and where). I was wondering if you guys know anyone who had switched a sport (doctor says i would be able to swim) at 12-14 years old and actually made something out of it or think that i could do so.
thanks luc

I started swimming at age 12 after doing gymnastics up to that point. I had big problems with my achilles tendon that prevented me from progressing to the next level. I swam from age 12-19 competitively and ranked nationally. So yes, you can make something of it!

How tall are you?

right now .. 6 foot and growing

Thats good because the max speed you can move in water is two times your body length per second before drag forces outweigh propulsion.

Give swimming a shot. Life isnt just soccer lol. I found that one out big time

yeah i was pretty dang crushed when i first found out to say the least... but its really opened up my life to other aspects i never would have thought.

Go for it. If your naturally athletic you can pick it, I'm sure.
