Unwanted Reply

This is kind of the reply that I was afraid of and why I didn't really want to ask in the first place:

Amy,
I think you need to really pray about this!

We need everyone to either be on the team or not, and really can't gear it down too much.
I too have been worried that this is not what you need, considering your eating disorder. And I am not at peace with this. I worry it will be too intense for you, and you are a perfectionist and starting swimming competitively in college is never success oriented. Most of these people have been on teams since they were 7 years old.

What other healthy options do you have for fall that you could be involved in? Intramurals? Lifeguarding? (and keeping up with the mandatory swims per week)

Let me know what you are thinking. Of course we want you on our support team (timing at meets, etc.)
Blessings,
Dorothy
