Congratulations! You're going to have a great time on the college swim team. When I was on the crew team in college, I discovered that having a set schedule really helped me manage both schoolwork and sports. I made sure to study at the same time and place every day, which kept me on track. Remember to also schedule some free time for fun and relaxation!

Hi Ashley,

Congratulations on your fantastic achievement! I know how challenging it can be to balance sports and school, so you're definitely not alone in this.

It's a good idea to inform your professors about your practice and travel schedule as soon as possible. This way, you can sort out any missed exams or classes and understand their expectations about completing work before you leave or after you return. Good communication will really make a difference.

Try to finish your homework before trips or use travel time to catch up. Studying with teammates on the road can make it easier and more enjoyable. Your teammates will be a great support, so don't hesitate to lean on them. Enjoy every moment of this journey and have fun!
